People profit from the weaknesses in a system, not from its strengths.
I am surprised when people are repulsed at other humans that are profiting from a weakness in a system. It is just cheap virtue signaling. Choosing which weaknesses are good to exploit and which weaknesses are bad to exploit is just plain naive. If you do not like humans profiting from a particular weakness, instead of going after the human that is just being human, strengthen the system.
There are many ways to strengthen a system. Innovation and transparency are my favorite paths.
With innovation, you create alternatives to the weakness. As people see alternative weaknesses, their attention gets thinned out and ultimately they no longer see the weakness. Masked weaknesses look no different from strengths.
With transparency you shine the light on that weakness, so that more people can see it. Naturally, they will crowd around it, compete aggressively and unwittingly strengthen it.
Humans have always and will continue to profit from weaknesses. It is the only way society finds the weaknesses requiring attention. For those that pay attention, it creates opportunities for anti-fragile growth.
