It feels like the deeper you dig into how things really work, the more depressing it gets. Curious what examples people have.

Yeah. You have a large number of attractive and poor people trying to get prestigious roles and a few gatekeepers who know they can get what they want from at least some of them.

You have a lot of unattractive people too. The system needs everybody.

If anything, the attractive are in over supply and good nondescript character actors are in demand.
