The price of abundant things are very, very, low. (One could say the whole purpose of advertising was to made something that was very abundant appear to be scarce and therefore valuable.)
Remember - it is not just the newest piece of entertainment that is competing for the limited purchaser's time, it is every existing piece of entertainment.
Is there a difference between "new" and "new to me"? There is more than a 1,000 lifetimes worth of existing entertainment out there - some of it truly free. Curating may help, but. . . how do you curate the curators?
Just some food for thought.
(I covered some of this a decade ago, with a monograph here on Mobileread. And the world changed. Particularly under the chapter Jet Fighters Over North Vietnam.
