Inadequate information is better than zero information.

In fact the value of most information follows an exponential curve. You tell me a movie is sci fi and I immediately know I'm unlikely to be into it. You tell me it's from A24 and I get my hopes up. You tell me both of these pieces of information and I gotta wrestle with competing signals - but either way the absolute value of the expected value of me watching it flattens out and a bit, I no longer expect it to absolutely blow me away nor make me throw my TV out the window.

Hence I'm pro compression culture. Let me decide whether I want to unpack it.
