>Attention economies are always very winner-take-all, and become more so as you remove barriers. If you relieve people of all tasks except showing off to each other, that will create cutthroat competition for attention where only a small minority can ever flourish.

I find this very interesting and it sounds correct to me. Did you read it somewhere? Can you recommend anything?
