One thought on “Clickbait?”

  1. Content vs. distribution
    “There’s been a long-running debate about which is king when it comes to media success — content or distribution? Does the secret sauce come from the quality of the content or from the reach of the distribution channel? The debate has become a moot point, as it is now clear that media consumers are more obsessed with the content offered by well-known creators — sometimes regardless of the quality — rather than the platform. ”
