No mattter what the new media tech thing is, there will be a group of people saying “now it will be all about curation, curation will be very important.”

I think lots of thongs just get labeled curation

Pseudo-agency suitcase word that means everything and nothing

do you think its wrong? kind of seems like its been one of those mega trends where every year (for the last ~5 decades) curation does in fact get more important

is this a lindy pattern? 

i’ve seen it in like early 2010’s discourse but not earlier than that I think but I haven’t been looking for it tbh

I would love to hear your for/against hypothesis on this take.

As the major platforms aggregate all content I can see new smaller editors/curation platforms popping up further down the value funnel
