Great photography actually takes much more than few seconds if you factor in the time spent taking all the other photos that weren’t so great, not to mention researching/buying equipment and also possibly educating oneself to the craft.

I’d love to hear more about your thoughts on the big picture behind formula. If we all agree on the ‘create/consume’ ratio then what’s the next step? How do we leverage that?

Photography. Good one.

I don’t think time of creation irrelevant, but maybe it can’t be a mandatory part of the definition.

I’ll have to think about it some more.

A digital photograph can take a second to produce and upload but the audience can study it for hours. I can spend months creating a rubbish painting whereas an artist could knock out something of far more worth in a fraction of the time. Surely it’s impossible to set this threshold at which point something becomes ‘content’ as you are attempting to measuring value as a function time.

Time is irrelevant, value is the perceived worth for the specific audience.
