One downside to ‘exercising care’ shows up when it isn’t obvious to ~everyone what is “okay” to say or not say, which seems like the case here. Like modern day etiquette...makes it harder to break in. If you have to have someone who “knows” the rules show you, networks matter.

People overreacting on the internet aren't overreacting because a venture capitalist is rich. That venture capitalist exercises 0% of this "great power" over that person's life. They do it because there is a certain masochistic pleasure with indignation.

In fact it is an entirely separate type of power that supposedly aggrieved person is exercising and THAT is the Nietzschean point. Yes, it is about power, but you're directionally wrong, I think.
