Remember when they all said that 3-D movies were going to change film exhibition forever? That was fun. 😂

@twsh The list of major hits which were rejected multiple times is ... long.

(The list of all rejections is considerably longer.)

Information assessment is expensive, difficult, and highly error-prone.

The best rejections tend to be those which are specific and actionable. And piggybacking on some more paletable notion or concept often helps. ("Sugar-coating".)

It's often a numbers game, and repeat submissions / subtle tweaks can help. Not taking it personally is a major advantage, if you can swing that. Numerous avante guarde groups have succeeded in large part through champions (e.g., Darwin + Huxley) or mutual admiration societies (Pre-Raphaelites, Impressionists).

See also me toot from a few minutes ago on in informationally-complex and consequence-fraught domains.

@kgerloff Fads are an inherent characteristic of complex, information-dense, socially consequential domains.

Art, academics, music, urban culture.

And technology and business management.
