The Cost of the Invisible Hand
You are sitting in a quiet office in London, staring at the screen of your laptop. A small, simple piece of software you wrote last week has just processed its first ten transactions. It is a tiny bit of code that allows users to upload video files and receive a small automated boost in engagement. It is not much, but the system is running. You have built a machine that makes money while you are not looking, a digital storefront that stays open when the city outside your window goes dark. You believe this is the extent of it. You believe you have created a direct relationship between your effort and the output, a one-to-one exchange where the code you wrote equals the value the user receives.
It feels like a straightforward transaction. You build the tool, the user finds it, they see the value, they pay the price.
