    TL;DR: billionaire class screwing the next in line.

    Does the NYT spell that out?

    Reader, they do not.

      screwing the next in line.

      Honestly, I feel like this understates it. They’re destroying creative communities and obliterating the knowledge of artistic techniques that were passed through those communities because those techniques aren’t deemed to have any market value, which leads us all into a world filled with generic and boring songs and stories being built from widely used materials and perspectives and pushed through generic structures. They’re effectively setting fire to the library of books that haven’t been written yet.
