Quote by Tim Wu, Attention Brokers - Deepstash
Tim Wu, Attention Brokers

Attention is a commodity, like wheat, pork bellies, or crude oil. Existing industries have long depended on it to drive sales. And the new industries of the twentieth century turned it into a form of currency they could mint. Beginning with radio, each new medium would attain its commercial viability through the resale of what attention it could capture in exchange for its ’free’ content.”
