Media Industry to Repeat History

In fact, a disproportionate amount of the so-called “creator economy” seems to be made up of people who have become financially independent creators by selling courses that purport to tell other people how to become financially independent creators, a Ponzi-like cavalcade of hustle porn that’s creators all the way down.

As with the hand-wringing over millennial cord-cutting, the limitations of supporting 10+ independent creators at $10 a month is similar to the impracticality of a Hulu, HBO, Criterion, Topic, Netflix and Amazon Prime subscription (phew). The pendulum has swung back to bundling–whether in a form like Every, or some sweet Atlantic media money.
