If nothing is curated, how do we find things?
Social media has killed the art of curation, making it harder to discover quality content. Before, you could watch one show or read one magazine monthly; now you're drowning in daily content with no guidance.
tl;dr
The rise of social media has killed the art of curation. Where people once discovered great music and films through professional curators (college radio, MTV, Ebert and Roeper), now they must hunt through an endless sludge pile. Technology promised convenience but delivered exhaustion.
My Thoughts
Before, you could reach for a magazine once a month or a watch a show once a week, but now you have to browse Vulture every day and read all 20+ articles they publish, even on the weekends. Who has time to read all that? Who has the time for any of this? Technology is making our lives harder, not easier.
With so much capacity to access content and the rise of social media is much more difficult to actually understand what is worth, hence having curated content is still key.
