Here, I found the video

It's youtube because I couldn't find it anywhere else. But I think it addresses some of your points. The biggest point it makes is that at the same time that the greater economy lost 3 million jobs (or had that many layoffs), the gig economy gained roughly the same number of people.

I saw a breakdown the other day postulating that the true unemployment rate is masked by the gig economy, because people are more likely to drive Uber than file for unemployment

I'm convinced they'll do it to themselves, especially as more books are made with AI, more articles, more reddit bots, etc. Their tool will poison its own well.

I think Bojack did a good job representing the different kinds of discourse on the subject, while also showing how impactful representation can be. However it was a relatively short arc that did not get much of any revisit
