Quote of the day by Bill Gates: "Content is where I expect much of the real money will be made on the Internet" — Why the web is being destroyed over this exact premise 30 years later

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates speaks to the press.

In January 1996, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates wrote and published an essay titled "Content is King." Little did he know that it would become one of the most prophetic essays on tech to ever be published, and that 30 years later we'd still be talking about it in relation to the modern internet.

The essay, which I just re-read and which you can read yourself online in PDF form, opens with the line, "Content is where I expect much of the real money will be made on the Internet, just as it was in broadcasting."
