Thank you for defining gate keeping at the beginning of this video. I had a discussion recently about how, in any discipline, often progress is made by people with lots of experience and that spaces need to exist where people with high levels of knowledge can discuss un-impeded. I was having trouble squaring this with how gross gate-keeping is, and how those spaces can exists without gatekeeping. But when gate keeping is framed as withholding information and making people feel bad, it's easier to think of a way those spaces can exist while still being transparent so those who wish to engage on the side can do so without impeding more in-depth discussions. (I think most people can relate to being both an expert and an interested observer depending on different areas of expertise)

Assuming someone would spend $20k if you told where you buy cheap clothes is kinda weird. It kinda makes you assume you have an amazing universal taste and everyone would buy it. But if the clothes are on deep sale it actually means nobody wanted to buy it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the clothes are bad or anything. If you like it, it's good. It's just pretentious to assume everyone would want it and if you could afford it all you would have bought it all, so you're actually also keeping the store from selling more stuff just to have a bigger selection for yourself. Also in this age it's probably on the internet so people can find any sale anyway. Especially the ones that would snatch up everything to resell. It's their job. I'm pretty sure they know how to use Google.
