7. Relation to a larger context
"The Skill Issue, or: How I Learned I Could Learn, and So Can You!" (video essay)
If you can cheat at something it means that there are some rules in place, and that there is a "proper" preferred way to do something. By cheating at those rules you can show that alternatives exist.
This reminds me of the online speedrunning community, various groups of people that gather around ways of completing a game as fast as possible.
This is made possible by discovering and sharing tactics and glitches that allow to jump around entire sections of a videogame (or skipping them entirely), breaking the overall programmed linearity/order/structure of the software (ex. by accomplishing some actions before the time they are supposed to happen).
Generally speaking this is a form of competition, ultimately people aim to break or keep their own records, but what I find interesting is that this process revolves around cheating and sharing cheats(methods) for others to see and replicate.
