If capitalism rewards “value,”
why does it reward attention-grabbing noise more than competence?
I would say the domains in which attention-grabbing noise is rewarded are distortions of capitalism via network effects (like legacy social media). A "capitalist" business with sufficient network effect is a monopoly, and a monopoly is a mini version of the state (no opt out). Which is closer to communism.
