“But what makes the long tail so disingenuous is that what happens in the long tail has almost no ramifications on what happens in the head.” Indeed. Insofar as I can tell, Newsvine is about the only “long tail” style web app that has made compensating the users for their user-generated content a part of their business plan. It frightens me to think just how much great stuff is on YouTube that the creators will never see a dime for. Long tail, my ass.
