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

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

Anyone buying books or online courses from bloggers who make the content available for free

If you bought Atomic Habits (and millions did), you’re paying for curation

He says everything in the book is also available for free on his blog. The book doesn’t have any new content. It takes the core of his existing content and organizes it

I bought Atomic Habits, but was paying for a book written by an author. Don’t understand why you’re considering it curation. Because you consider what he wrote to be just curation of existing ideas?
