  • Commoditized skills lead to centralized market making, shifting power to platforms.

  • Skill premiums aren't always proportional to actual skill due to network effects and arbitrary advantages.
  • Early platform adopters or those featured on lists gain disproportionate visibility.

  • Whether AI increases or decreases your skill premium depends on its effect on your differentiation.
