Music

I've been seeing a lot takes like this.

Summary: Tech makes creation cheaper but attention is zero-sum, which incentivizes less risk taking. There is no shortage of great music, but it is more difficult for it to break through. Same seems true of all art & information.

Shouldn’t it incentivize more risk taking? Like if every song has a 99.99% chance of being ignored, then why not make something weird? 

I feel like there has to be a demand side explanation too.

Maybe more among artists, but less risk taking in the funding & distribution. ex: All the movie franchises that are endless sequels & prequels. The equivalent in music is a song that samples another song everyone already knows is much more likely to get radio distribution (all things being equal).

Right, and I think that funding and distribution is just responding to the demand side. 
For some reason people are less adventurous.
