re: CBS, the content is firmly in the head. This is nothing to do with the tail. This stuff was created for the mass market.
But Gordon, one year’s head is 30 years later’s long tail.
You are right, I guess it moves over time.
It’ll be interesting to see if something succeeding in the head today will still be in the tail in the next 30 years. Or will demand decrease far more quickly than before?
