I mean now one doesn't have to have any talent to become famous worldwide.Anyway I'm curious to watch DJ Ppauper dancing his own style.Indeed! In the past, certain people (publishers, critics, journalists) acted as gatekeepers to filter out the talentless and tasteless. Because of the high investment by the publishers, they had strong incentives to filter works they judged inadequate.Yet, the fact that this video has 1 billion views suggests that decentralized promotion of something can beat the pants of the more centralized approach. In fact, one can clearly conclude that decentralization is more economically efficient.
