>>56177727This type of question is always dumb to me because people treat skill vs luck as dichotomy where the involvement of one disqualifies the other, when in reality they're two things that work in tandem and influence each other
Like it was skill because she met the qualifications of what Cover was looking for and had the talent to create content people liked, but it was lucky to have even been there putting in an audition in the first place
The Patriots won all those superbowls because of fair degree of luck, however it took skill to be a position where something like a favorable ref call or an incepted ball to even mattered
Michael Jackson became the "king of pop" through his own work ethic and talent to reinvent himself and his music through the decades but it was also lucky to have been born into a family of musicians which meant creating music had been a fixture of his life pretty much since birth
I probably come up with more examples, but you get the point
