It’s not just purchases consumers are getting more deliberate about

\n
\n

audiences’ shrinking attention span is a myth…consumers are instead making deliberate choices about where to direct their attention. People still devote hours to podcasts, newsletters, documentaries, and long-form video when genuinely interested. What’s changed is how ruthlessly they filter everything else.\n…\nconsumers don’t reward content for being brief, they reward it when they believe they’ll get something valuable in return.

\n
\n

People have more choice and control than ever. Why should they choose you?

Continuing my recent series of posts about the consumer mindset…

\n

What is “value” for consumers?

\n
\n

value is increasingly defined not simply by price but by a product’s ability to meet specific needs, improve daily life, and deliver a meaningful period of ownership.

\n
\n

For tech, this is

\n
\n

products that deliver stronger utility, productivity, and long-term value

\n

creating opportunities for brands that clearly connect innovation with everyday consumer needs.

\n
\n

Price is the cost.
\nValue is the return.
\nEven consumers want a positive ROI.

men are five times more likely than women to regularly listen to sports podcasts, while women over-index in true crime, self-improvement, lifestyle, and wellness.

Like everything Scott Lynch does, it was great fun.

“A wizard is not defined merely by the spells he might cast, my colleague. Remember Estorion’s Great Law: Wizard, know the true names of all things, see all, understand all that is seen.”

Candidate’s follow-ups are a key signal in our hiring process. The badger quotient.

\n
\n

When determining whom to hire, employers care about how quickly they receive replies from the job seekers and service providers they contact.
\n…
\nFast replies signal a provider’s future responsiveness and increase hiring likelihood independently from other signals of future responsiveness, such as a worker’s quality (Study 2) or the content of the message sent (Study 4). Together, our studies identify a distinct signal that employees can control to increase their hireability: replying to messages quickly. Empirically,...

@JohnPhilpin I don’t disagree. I think Robin’s distinction is based on how all the platforms suddenly shifted from saying “influencer” to “creator.” And “the creator economy” usually seems to apply to people building some form of revenue stream on said platforms.

\n

The standard big tech rename to make something seem new and exciting.

\n

The language shift also feels significant related to how it positions power in the relationship.

\n

An influencer has the power because the value is created via their influence, which is platform agnostic.

\n

“Creator” feels like it gives more credit to the tools of creation, shifting power back to the platforms.

\n

At the end of the day, to your point, the real distinction is between people that create income on the internet via tools they control vs building on someone else’s tools and being at the mercy of an external algorithm or distribution mechanism.
