Again, this seems to have been the norm. There have always been venue operators or publishers who have a significantly larger audience than their tiny similars. If Emma the Anarchist wanted to be published in the early 20th century, she wasn’t being published by the era’s Wall Street Journal, she was published in small homegrown publications. I mean, I do recognize the scalability and network effects, but I’m still not convinced it is any different from the distant past or the recent past.
