The problem is that this just seems extremely unlikely to happen.
The immaturity of the people you need to convince is a huge problem here. I've heard hints of it in this thread, but had it crystalised for me recently elsewhere. A student was complaining that they were being made to do work and their only "pay" was in grades, as if it was some great scam because adults are paid money for their work!
Even adults don't always appreciate that the purpose of essays isn't the final grade, bur the work that goes into getting it, of understanding the material and articulating your position in a compelling way. If you outsource that you have played the system, but played yourself too. Maybe that'll be enough to get the job you want, but you might find that you can't do it or you can't progress because you're not as good as the people who earned the same grade.
Comes back to the adage, "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."
Of course, we need to set all this against that society often rewards cheaters and the skills taught and rewarded in academia are not those valued in other domains. If all society is doing is gatekeeping with some qualifications for reasons other than ability, fraud becomes a tool for greater equality.
There's nothing here!
