?️ Risks

Uniformity • As curation becomes more popular, the value of differentiation (even for its own sake) goes up.
Bias • By definition, curation is biased. Beware of blindspots. Reference multiple curators if you rely on curation.

? Key Lessons

Time is your most valuable asset. Unlike money, it’s nonrenewable.
The more creators we have, the more curators we need. The value of curation increases with options.

? Hot Takes

Automated curation will not replace human curators. Despite Skyscanner’s powerful algorithms, Jack’s Flight Club has 1,500,000+ members and ~$800,000 in revenue.
Curation is most effective when done by personal brands. See Oprah’s Favorite Things.

? Haters

“Curation is biased.”
This is a feature. Not a bug. Curators exercise judgment in what to include and exclude. Those who follow curators should take this into account. Consult multiple sources to reduce blindspots.

“Everyone has free access to quality information.”
The value of curation lies in accuracy, ease of access and trust. Most information can be found for “free” but time is our most valuable resource.

“I’m not an expert.”
That’s even better. Curation helps you document and accelerate your learning process. You can help newcomers without the curse of knowledge.
