Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I've tried watching videos about it, but they are not analysing the reasons. Instead it's just whining about the symptoms and hypocrisy of rich CEOs firing employees then buying a yacht. We all know it's terrible, but my question is "why". "herp derp, capitalism" and "omg, it's the fucking CEOs" doesn't explain anything.

If you'd like to understand an industry usually a good place to look is independent industry journalists. People that can maintain integrity when it's financially advantageous to be deceptive are rare so most are just going to repeat what they heard someone else say or what they were paid to say or what they think will get views, but there are a few who will get into the actual history and lore of the industry, not just the slime bags trying to ruin it.
