What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

That Spotify makes fake artist playlists and has completely gutted the music industry.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

The overwhelming majority of journalists care deeply about truth and accuracy.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
