#12: 3000 ads per day, thousands of bands, movies, trends, products. Too much choice is making us unhappy.
#42: The reality of digital content (lose the cookie, lose the fortune?) A magazine with a million subscribers might spend more than a million dollars to deliver a single issue to its subscribers. A million dollars spent on postage, printing, subscription sales, fulfillment, ad sales, sub rights and more. I wouldn't be surprised if the freelance budget for the writers and photographers (the real reason people read the magazine) is less than 15% of the cost, perhaps a lot less. The economics of this business are interesting. Millions spent, millions earned, and almost all of it goes to pay for the paper and the friction it brings. Now, we fast forward to a world, our world, where the cost of delivery is zero and so we've removed 95% of the costs. What happens to the writers and photographers? Where do they get their money now? The good news: There's a new job, but this job hasn't been filled yet. It's not stable enough for a publisher type to grab it. It's not boring enough for a bureaucrat. Instead, it's a job for someone with a writer's sensibility and awareness, but it requires entrepreneurship and organization. What happens when the people with great ideas start organizing for themselves, start leading online tribes, start creating micro products and seminars and interactions that people are actually willing to pay for?
