Yea exactly. This is survivorship bias - the prospects of today look at the winners of yesterday to guide their entry on how to communicate, they’re slightly more likely to get funded, etc

It’s reinforcement learning over decades

Emulating the past for success in the future is a form of idea homogenization.

Survivorship bias is when excessively high-risk behaviors are made to look good by only showing the winners. I think what you're referring to is evolution.
