There isn't much reason to automate low-paying jobs away.

Ok, fair enough.

There are also a lot of pointless "bullshit jobs." ~20% of people think their own jobs are pointless.

How many of them are right? Maybe some of them. But, a lot of people don't appreciate the whole system they're part of.

do a lot of pointless work that everyone knows isn't useful, just because they know that's what's "hot" right now with investors.

I doubt it's truly pointless. Sure, it might not end up working, but maybe the investor actually knows more than the workers. There are a lot of successful companies that I saw in their early stages and thought "nobody's ever going to pay money for that", and I was completely wrong.
