But wouldn't you say that is true for what the big boys did as

boys meaning
large media outlets, such a record labels, book publishers, etc.
There were
a few things
that sold really well, that allowed those businesses to work, while
the
other 90 percent
didn't make them all that much money.
I don't suppose you thought that the criteria for the 90% was the
same for everyone involved? According to the businesses, the 10% that
made money was the gold, and screw the other stuff. However,
according to me (the guy who listened avidly to the stuff on the
middle of the B sides of LPs) the stuff that got popular was mostly
the crap, and I had to dig a bit to find the 10% that <I> liked!
