Thats cuz you think of it as a tech/content company, instead of Wall St financializing content. In the same way they did mortgages. The people who built the houses that were sold to people who couldnt afford them, were also standing ar

How many didnt get famous? Thats what no one reports. If the UN report on the attention economy is saying 0.5% of content produced is consumed and dropping, then how are people getting views? It doesnt make any sense. Unless the game is rig

Well someone has to pay for the tech. Its not free. And that puts an automatic upper limit on what happens. People have no idea how much debt Police depts (lets not even talk about the military) have racked up playing with high tech toys an

What we are missing is industry. People and politicians by themselves really cant take on the financial sector. They are the modern day rent collecting feudal lords. The Financial Sector(banks/insurers/real estate/stocks&#x2F

Very few "best" people/"superstars" have a great track record of doing anything useful outside comfy large corp support structure. Its like moving exotic plants out of a specialized botanical garden.

In the US sure, where its blasphemous to slit the throats of the leisure classes for their excesses. In China they made Jack Ma disappear. Through out history when it gets time for the Kings & Queens to waive the debt of the plebs away,

Michael Goldharber said it best - people have limited attention to give anything, but unlimited capacity to receive attention. Exploitation of that inequality keeps the Attention Economy afloat. Its also why HN stays afloat, even though the

Just dismissing it as a "crypto feature" is pure robotic mindlessness. We are past the point where crypto scammers ruled the day. The scammers/hype herd have moved on to AI. Who is left behind holding the crypto bag, are diff
