I wonder how much of this stagnation can be attributed to fewer people performing "real work"... that is producing something that actually adds value. Just thinking of the sheer number of people and resources used in advertising, movie CGI, useless chat apps, etc. that are basically a net negative to real economic output, it makes me think that maybe these people are the ones getting paid with the productivity gains of those who produce real output.

Not trying to put anyone down here, it's just I can't see a lot of economic benefit in a team of 10 engineers modeling the hair of the next Assassin's Creed character... and where do you think this money comes from?
