I don’t know; I’d argue it’s a bad thing. Whenever a field gets super saturated it pushes out people with potential. Not everybody is built for extreme grind, and that’s not part of the job description—or rather, it never used to be. This dynamic only benefits corporations who want to underpay people. But people who just want to get a stable job, make decent money, have room to learn and grow on the job, have upward mobility, etc are out of luck these days. Those jobs are scarce because now people can hire randos who will work for basically free—if not actually free—because they want “experience.”
That churn dynamic is not healthy. Yes there are freedoms that come with it, but I genuinely think it’s a bad thing overall. I’ve seen so many industries decimated by this dynamic.
