the algos are fuelled by intentional attention (creation) but really scale on mindless attention (consumption)
the trade is very lopsided
there’s a lot to gain, and a lot less to lose when you’re creating and completely vice versa when consuming (>99% noise, <1% signal to gain)
it physically holds true as well; time to distribute is independent of attention but time to consume is humanly-limited
creators have outsized return compared to consumers
