I couldn’t agree more with @taffyakner’s essay about loving @mincemeatbway and also her assessment that today’s culture is unimaginative and boring. In the story she mentions a few exceptions that are creative. We were so honored to see GRAND THEFT HAMLET make the list!!
ELON: LIVE EVENTS ARE THE ONLY LUXURY LEFT
Nikhil Kamath was showing Elon the data: movies are getting crushed, social media & YouTube dominate screen time… but the one thing growing like crazy again?
Live events.
Elon:
"When digital media is ubiquitous, and you can have essentially anything digitally for free, or very close to free, then the scarce commodity becomes live events."
When every movie, song, fight, or show is instantly available anywhere for almost nothing, the only thing that becomes truly valuable is the one thing you can’t pirate or stream:
Being there. In the moment. With the crowd. Feeling the energy live.
That’s why concerts are printing money, sports tickets are insane, UFC sells out in minutes, and even podcasts are doing arena tours.
Scarcity flipped. Digital killed the album, but it made the live show priceless.
