as someone who has unfortunately worked in Product for awhile now, i feel like people really misunderstand the whole "faster horses" quote. the point is not really innovation and to "create markets". the point is that people don't really know what they want, except more of what they know. people crave the familiar, and more of it. more! more of more!

except they really don't. they just think they do, when looked at in aggregate, when asked. that's the real stumbling block here. it's not about what you, the individual, want, which is "just a faster horse", which is practical and reasonable. it's about what everybody wants, which may seem like faster horses, but in reality the faster horse never satisfies.

because we've done "faster horses". tumblr has not fundamentally changed in 10+ years except to make incremental improvements -- it's the "faster horse" -- and it isn't profitable, folks. it doesn't work. you think you want it, but it doesn't work in today's world. people want something else.

the "everything converges on tiktok" point is correct: everything in a free market converges towards whatever is perceived as the most successful. to do otherwise would be foolish. in today's market, that seems like tiktok. to be an outlier to that is a risk: you risk seeming outdated, and people move on. and they do! we heard it all the time at tumblr.

the same is a basic fact of all capitalism. if there's an easy way to make money, everybody is going to take it. which means everybody takes it, which means there's a continuous race to find the next easy way to make money. and so it goes in a loop. we're just caught in the middle, not really knowing what we want.

most people, most people, don't know this meta-layer. they're just fish in the ocean. they do not see the ocean. they just think they want a faster seahorse, but really they want something new, that gives them a different kind of dopamine rush.

Another ordinary day in Xiuhan's life

Luhan: Hey hey Minseok

Minseok: Hmm? *waits for another Luhan’s nonsense*

Luhan: I got this very veeeery GENIUS idea!

Minseok: What?

Luhan: You should say this line when you propose to me. ‘WILL LU MARRY MIN?’ Isn’t that cute like you use both our name?!! *eyes sparkle*

Minseok: …….

Luhan: *continues to admire his own pun*

Minseok: ……Baby, we’re already married.

Luhan: But still…*pouts*

Pretty sure that there is a no murdering your group mates clause in D.O.'s contract. I can't think of any other explanation as to how Baekhyun and Chanyeol are still alive.

I just went to watch SJM’s Swing Korean version MV… Can i just say that fans are unnecessarily hating on Exo lmao I saw comments saying Exo doesnt deserve so much publicity or so many MV views, and SM is doing a bad job of marketing Super Junior etc etc

Lol, whiny little shits

Its very understandable that Super Junior fans are displeased with the dismal number of views that MV got I mean its been up almost 2 weeks and just 1 mil+ views :( and Swing is a really good song, they even have cool choreography in it and a kickass dance break

It is also true that SM is focusing mostly on Exo, from what i can see.

But lets face the facts people… Super Junior is getting old. Literally. They’ve had their time, just like Exo is having their time now. They’ve gone through blowing up and becoming way more popular tham Exo even is right now. Their members are nearing 30, they arent going to be as popular as they were at their peak. We still love them to death, yes, but people also want fresh faces in entertainment… Just like we fell im love with SJ, people are falling in love with Exo.

SO STOP HATING

people are cussing saying SM is focusing on Exo more than other groups and marketing them better but without actual FANS, all of that wouldnt take them anywhere. The fact is there are a shit tonne of people who LOVE exo and support them, because theyre talented and attractive as heck, not to mention the peek we got at their personalities during that stupid Showtime where all they did was stuff their faces

So stop bashing and just support who you want to support, gosh.

Things change. No group is gonna be at its peak forever. Other groups deserve their time to shine, u feel me
