@monkbent I've often thought that one effect of the power curve is: people must be great right out the gate. Fewer training grounds exist.

@monkbent This means raw talent may have a harder time maturing. Also, industry values (e.g. in journalism) get passed on less to newbies. -
@lydialaurenson those are interesting points. I think you’ll likely see more writers coming up through blogs, a la Silver -
@monkbent But are there blogging "industry values"? Also, with current hyper-saturated content ecosystem, can indie blogs still start up? -
@lydialaurenson I don’t know, but http://stratechery.com isn’t yet a year old... -
@monkbent Well done :) I was wondering about that. Did you already have a reputation/platform? -
@lydialaurenson 389 Twitter followers when I started :)

@monkbent@stratechery Love how you sometimes finish the pieces with deeper reflections on the paths of our society! -
@percederberg thanks. I think we in the industry have a responsibility to think about such things -
@monkbent to the man from madison - so how much of the high quality stuff that you read is paid content? -
@CherryNOA not enough. I’ll be writing about business models soon -
@monkbent your stuff (not a writer) - End of conversation

@monkbent Could it be that your consumption power curve depends on a "seek the best of everything" mentality? Not sure how common that is. -
@rjs look what ESPN has done to sports. Same thing -
@monkbent So is the power curve another way to depict unbundling? -
@rjs it's related. I had planned to get to that but piece kind of ended itself. Will write more soon

@monkbent@pmarca@stratechery very interesting. Do you think this 'power curve' extends to App Store dynamics? -
@robzepeda@pmarca@stratechery yes. Broadly applicable.
