Product-Market Fit

I was pondering on why the market can go crazy for a less talented artist or technological product. The artist or product must fit the market.

Old stuff get old. It garners less attention unless it has staying value.

New stuff that creates an amazing experience, finally solves a problem, or solves a problem in a smoother way will overshadow the old stuff.

Some old art retains attention and old tech stays practical until they don’t.

New creators will not garner attention by replicating old stuff because they are owned by the original creators. They will never compare to them.

You have to be a creator that creates new stuff generating amazing experiences. This is why talent isn’t enough. The creator’s product must fit in some niche of the market. Less talented artists and less perfect products that fit the market will succeed over talent and perfection.
