Had to ask the same to the woke caster community. 

What's an example of people paying for curation (vs. creation)?

The best answer I saw was "museums" https://i.imgur.com/NDRFegv.png

Wine clubs, subscription to coffee beans, etc. I'm sure there are more examples in the gourmet space. My dad used to have a wine club subscription, they sent him a couple bottles every month along with a story of why they picked them.
