The creator economy told everyone: write, record, design. CREATE content. The barrier was always talent + time. Most people couldn’t sustain it.
The curator economy says something different: FIND great content. Your taste is the value.

Curator model:
In a world of infinite content, FINDING is harder than MAKING.
A public audiclip station monetizes that skill. Your followers subscribe because your SELECTION is better than their own browsing. Every article you save reflects judgment that took years to develop.
Free station, audience growth: Build a following around your curation. Monetize with sponsorships, consulting, or as a top-of-funnel for your other products.
Premium station: Free listeners get a weekly highlight. Paid subscribers ($5-10/mo) get the daily feed. The paywall is on FREQUENCY, not content quality.
Multi-station portfolio: Curate across topics. One station for AI, one for climate, one for geopolitics. Each attracts a different audience. Aggregate audience = real business.
You curate in English. Your station has listeners in 30 countries, each hearing in their language. You become a global thought leader — from your reading habit. No travel. No translation. No production.
The creator economy needed talent. The curator economy needs taste. You have taste.
