It took me a few years (University?) to understand better the concepts of job creation (macroeconomics) and of zero-sum (game theory). I assume many readers (maybe even the author) of the article will not have an understanding of these notions either and therefore will not arrive at your conclusions.
Instead of "hating", maybe we could acknowledge the problem and try to come up with a solution? Not that I'm able to come up with a good one.
A bit off topic, but when I see adults who lack a certain concept, I take note of teaching my kids about that concept. For instance, I want to teach my kids the concept of "velocity of money" by adopting an internal currency (e.g., stuffed toys), where you can "spend" by asking a favor, and "earn" by doing a favor. Over time, my wife and I might also increase the pool of "money" whenever someone does something especially nice. No blockchain required ;-)
