Powerful piece on how the barrier colllapse is fundamentally reshaping who gets to build stuff. The YouTube analogy is especially sharp because it captures something most people miss about content saturation vs actual demand.

I've watched this play out in other industries where cost drops met skill ceilings, and the pattern always favors people who understand problems deeply over people who just know tools.
