These categories intersect, of course. Within “attention”, perhaps swing is towards lightweight professionalization/creator support and the focus on optimizing something closer to “value” rather than just “time”: @SubstackInc, @Medium, @memberful, @Patreon, etc.

Agreed! People are realizing that attention doesn’t put food on the table Ad- and donation-based models usually have a low ceiling for the value creation they enable, and the internet is bumping up against it

I’m very excited by the startups you mention but they aren’t at scale yet. The story at scale seems to be moving away from deeper creation (blog posts, personal websites, deep forum discussions) of yesterday to the incredibly light social media posts on Twitter, FG, Gram of today

I’d argue that the real shift will come when we embrace the “gift economy”. New OSS business models are all about building the ecosystem around the platform you can offer as a service. With circulation comes more value. Creation is a means toward circulation.

Things like
@SubstackInc & newer pod monetization on Anchor, Breaker et al too. But, attention economy is still is intrinsically linked to creation. Just more options to monetize the best attention these days.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

The creation economy relies on the attention economy to some extent: there needs to be consumers of content for creators to sell to/get paid. Although, there is still merit (albeit not financial) in creating without an audience.
