What everyone is missing about the entertainment industry
- vannevar 15y agoFor the average person, entertainment is as much about creating a shared culture as it is about the content itself. I'd agree with this, the central point of the (very short) blog post. They want to go to a huge arena filled with people similar to them and enjoy an event together. This I'm not convinced about. Studies show that people can manage about 150 personal relationships. I'd say it's likely that this also reflects a sweet spot in terms of shared interests. They don't care that 100,000 strangers like the same band, they just want enough people in their own circle to like the band that they can reliably share the experience. And that number is a lot less than an arena-full.
