Technological Monopoly
Software development is a topic that falls under other categories, and they all have something in common: a product or brand, no matter how good it is, will not have visibility and no one will use it.
Popularity (Money) vs. Quality (Poverty)

Snowball
Have you ever seen a product appear overnight and people suddenly start using and recommending it? This is a real example of collective ignorance. Have you ever seen someone comment on or like an expert in a field with no followers but good content? But you’ve seen a streamer who’s just a character with a script, acting like they’re the best in the world, even though what they say is incoherent.
