We talked about this a bit on TGFN, content creation is the addition of signal and noise. Content curation is a signal amplifier
I really like the idea of being able to organize content in to buckets or streams. Then you could subscribe to that stream, say I want the memes tagged by nostr:npub1jxa9x4erd8xp7xu2w6pmk3vays0e45y02wjy58p59vt39d9wxhsqtxhd80 here instead of having them share them with me on IG. ;-D

That is to say, content curation is arguably more valuable than content creation. It's less exciting, so people aren't as likely to do it for free, creating a supply shortage, increasing the possible market value.
