The issue is that for a hundred years, even that 'mediocre' content took a bit of skill. Even trash authors spitting out a book a week, are better than most people at writing. Not everyone can write a book a week, no matter how trashy. So the volume of trash was still limited.
The new tools have dialed the trash volume to 11. It is now possible to have infinite trash. Thus the value goes to zero.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoThere are a million novels produced annually. Most of them don't sell 100 copies. We already have essentially infinite trash and the majority are worth essentially 0. OTOH, Rowling has sold close to a billion novels.
