I'm not sure if you've got the Peter Principle in mind, OP, which is that people tend to be promoted for their success in one area, only to become increasingly less competent and capable of demonstrating potential for success the further up they climb with each promotion. It's an extremely common phenomenon in business and politics, but also in academia and tech.

Classic example of the Peter Principle. Man who knows nothing about X gets promoted to doing X because X is seen as high-status.
I remember one of my former boss was a webdev who got promoted to operations management and quality control management because they were the highest-ranking roles in the company outside of the executive board. Needless to say, this person crashed out and quit in a matter of months due to utter incompetence in the area.

YN hires young people for PR and I am quite sure as bait for gay investors like Thiel. They don't need skill they just need to be a good face that can be charming. Like In-Q-Tel and Zuckerberg. The economy is fake anyway you should rather ask why scams are rewarded and keep producing these bubbles.
