Wow, wow, wow... I'm totally overwhelmed by how lucid, insightful,
cogent, eloquent Courtney turns out to be. This ought to be required
reading for "Digital Economy 101," a hypothetical class that everybody
should be required to take in high school. ;-) Check out the
extrapolation:
"...And filters are replacing gatekeepers. In a world where we
can get anything we want, whenever we want it, how does a
company create value? By filtering. In a world without
friction, the only friction people value is editing. A filter
is valuable when it understands the needs of both artists and
the public. New companies should be conduits between musicians
and their fans."
Now a simple substitution:
"...And filters are replacing gatekeepers. In a world where we
can get anything we want, whenever we want it, how does a
company create value? By filtering. In a world without
friction, the only friction people value is editing. A filter
is valuable when it understands the needs of both artists and
the public. New companies should be conduits between [content
producers] and their [audiences.]"
I'm having this really weird "Courtney Love-as-Marshall McLuhan" vibe...
Anywaze...
