The winner take all media ecosystem is such a bummer. You could triple the human population and the overall demand for art would stay the same because the planet's attention span so rarely exceeds "so what's the best couple things that come out this month?"

I think a huge driver of that is simply time in the day—whether that is taken up by unavoidable (in the short term) factors work or by removable attention-monopolizing grabbers like social media varies, but most people don’t feel they have the time for more than a few of their chosen medium a month.
