The future is about your passion
#42 - Longform article on YouTube, and my adventures with the passion economy
Hi everyone!
I published a long-form article on YouTube, one of my favourite products in the world.
Passion Economy
The internet has enabled many creators. From the time when blogging became popular in the 2000s, the dot-com boom around the same time, and the rise of tools allowing individual businesses, getting paid for your passion is possible today.
One good example of a product that enables this is YouTube. Like I have written in the past, YouTube has spanned new careers, created celebrities, changed advertising and content consumption forever.
After about 3 months of research, I published a long-form article on YouTube that dives into how it has changed each of the above areas.
Please read the article here. Warning - the article is more than 5000 words long, which is about 18 minutes of reading time.
On that note, I am going to start digging deeper into other technologies that are enabling creators in the near future. I think we are just getting started, and we can envision a world where anyone can earn their livelihood from their passion.
For a high-level perspective, here are all the things that are happening in the “passion economy,” as they call it.
Please share this email with anyone who might be interested in reading.
Thanks for reading :)
