An interesting article on the inter-relationship of electronic distribution and consumer taste.
[Added a quote several hours later in the interest of generating interest.]
Unlimited selection is revealing truths about what consumers want and how they want to get it in service after service, [...]. People are going deep into the catalog, down the long, long list of available titles, far past what's available at Blockbuster Video, Tower Records, and Barnes & Noble. And the more they find, the more they like. As they wander further from the beaten path, they discover their taste is not as mainstream as they thought (or as they had been led to believe by marketing, a lack of alternatives, and a hit-driven culture).
