The umarell framing is clever and actually pretty useful. Koe's point about unconscious goals hits close to home for a lot of people in media right now, where watching the industry shift feels safer than buildng something new. The OpenAI advertising pivot is a perfect example of this tension between vision and survival. I've seen similar patterns in my own career where the spectator mindset creeps in durng uncertainty. Sometimes the best move is just starting before you feel ready.
I believe “starting before you feel ready”, at least testing and learning, is usually wise. Otherwise you build up that first effort so much that you often resist making changes and optimizing. I think this era is friendlier to those who work it out live. It’s not without risk and one should use caution, but one only truly learns by doing.
The 'umarell' observation is truely astute, a great peice of cultural analysis. What are the core models influencing publishers' pivot to prediction markets?
