I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I guess the 4D chess move is to think about what will be the next market that will benefit from whatever this effect causes.

I have a completely un-worked thought that the music industry might have some clues. As music becomes more and more entrenched in codified process ie pop culture music. It all starts to become very generic.

I'm starting to notice that music is returning to the old way of discovery. Where you hear music from a 3rd party that is playing it and ask them who that is. There is no longer a good bubble to the top source like radio because the corps have cannibalized themselves with production line pop music that has to play on their vertical stack of companies or be licensed. Seems the stuff I find now is some artist with less than 100k followers like (I'm guessing) back in the pre internet days.
