"We see this pattern again and again — companies coming along to tell us
that their platform will help us with the firehose of content. But the
big problem is not that it’s a firehose, but that it’s a firehose of
sewage. It’s all haystack and no needle. And the reason this happens
again and again is that what we so derisively call “content” nowadays is
expensive to produce, and gets produced by a large number of talented
and well-paid people. To scale up that work is to employ a lot of
people, but it doesn’t change your return on investment ratio. To make a
dollar, you need to spend ninety cents, and that doesn’t change no
matter how big you get. And who wants to spend ninety cents to make a
dollar in today’s world? That’s so twentieth century."
