About a decade ago, I started a few side businesses that I believe, in retrospect, were entirely reliant on a few of my personal connections with associates of popular blogs, most notably Hypebeast. Startup culture refers to this loss of curation as “democratization” which is a cynical gesture that really just means replacing things like person connections with a ‘highest spender’ promotion industry that is even more dishonest than the curation model. Neither model is democratic in any sense. |

For a second there I thought you were talking about the crypto and NFT space. Still accurate.
