I think he means discovery of people in a social media sense, not as in discovery of music

  I was a bit confused because the article picks those 3 items as if they're related, but they're just the first items of many from the linked tweet, and most of those aren't related to social media.

  This article is just recapitulating a series of tweets, with essentially zero value added. And, since the tweets were off-the-cuff and ambiguously worded, it's hard to say what the original author meant. I assumed he was referring to the discovery of music, as in "coming up with a new algorithm or process that recommends music to people does not, by itself, amount to a financially sustainable product". It reminded me of Steve Jobs' reaction to Dropbox: that the entire product was more like a feature that some other product should have. Of course, Jobs was wrong about that, and this guy may also be wrong about his intuition here, even though he is informed and experienced at his business.
