Key insight: depth-as-growth-mechanism explicitly pitched to Wall Street, dissolving reach-vs-meaning tension. The venue (DealBook) and audience (institutional capital) make this a significant signal about how creator economy scale is being framed to financial markets. Extracted one new claim and two enrichments to existing attractor state claims."
