Individuals believe that “information” translates to money in the online world, but “attention” actually leads to significant financial gains. Without capturing people’s attention, online information is merely useful but may struggle to generate revenue. Attention operates under a system where the winner takes all (a principle where 80% of results are dominated by 20% of players). Even so, winning once does not guarantee lasting benefits, and to sustain that monopoly, attention must be tied to reputation, as well as good fame. However, attention is a limited resource. It is like a mother who cannot give equal attention to all her children, even if she loves them equally. Thus, choice and focus enhance attention. It’s not information; it’s attention. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
