Actual valuable work

There is a difference between perceived value of work, and actual value of work

That value of work changes in a cycle.

Work generally starts out as being valuable, but not really perceived as such. Done by the early adopters, the innovators. Over time the work is seen as more valuable, attracting different sort of people. Over time, the work, while still being thought of as valuable, becomes less and less relevant in the market. Until ultimately, the work is just not valuable anymore.
