"Hedge fund managers now are no better than the managers of 10-20 years ago, the system has evolved to favor them more."

Don't hedge funds now have better technology and bots etc that boost the productivity of each trader?

Yes, but at the same time there are many more hedge funds canceling out the relative advantage of each trader.

Yes, but that makes the market as a whole more effective.

In what sense "more efficient"? There is nothing that says that just because some people have become better at making money the market as a whole is working better.
