Directionality
but
attention doesn’t scale
consumption doesn’t scale
these days
the people ain’t buying
the winner isn’t
the ad-drunk stuff-sellers
it’s the people
who wake up
in their max’d credit haze
to having less
to needing less
ignoring ads
when they don’t want them
not needing to buy
to be happy
finding their worth
outside the satisfaction of stuff
more smiles
from people, not the stuff
more dancing
more calm
more businesses, capital efficient
keeping prices low
really serving people
not stuffing their ads
thru ad-backed securities
where the math doesn’t add up

Context: Fred Wilson’s thought on why display advertising will become as effective as search. Great contrarian take on “worthless” inventory (which wrongly equates “value” with “price”).
