At the same time some of the bigger companies are intentionally hiring people perceived as "diverse" in some way over more qualified candidates.

I was going to post something interesting happening on Twitch but I figured it would get removed for not being gay focused enough. Basically Twitch has spent recent years bending over backwards to hire "diversity officers" and pushing streamers who are weird narcissistic fetishists.

Now we just learned that some of their biggest streaming talent is getting suspended or banned over dmca because there are bots dinging content which is "deleted". Basically all streamed content becomes permanent saved on their servers and can be found by bots. If they bothered to hire decent engineers and programmers over these years this could have been stopped but they were insistent on hiring useless positions with a bunch of blue hairs.
