> The social cost however is creating a society that favors consumption over creation, and weights incentives accordingly We've been heading this way progressively for the last century. If you look back at the early days of broadcast television, for example, there were only 3 channels. 72h of programming at most in any 24h time period. This deeply favored the creator (or perhaps more accurately, the owner of the channel of distribution). Now we have YT and Netflix, both of which are biased towards consumption. Is it all bad? In some ways; we have to wade through more to find the good stuff. But in other ways, we have more to choose from and more people can be creators.
