Creativity Quote by David Rose

"Our criteria for good data feeds are that they need to be dynamic enough to be interesting, something that users want to attune to throughout the day, etc"

About this Quote

Dynamic enough to be interesting is the kind of phrase that pretends to be neutral while smuggling in an entire worldview: attention is the scarce resource, and data only earns its keep if it can keep you coming back. David Rose frames “good data feeds” less as information and more as a relationship - something you “attune to,” like a radio station you keep on in the background, or a melody you find yourself humming. That musician’s verb choice matters. It recasts data as ambience: not a report you read, but a rhythm that syncs with your day.

The intent is pragmatic - define what makes a feed successful - but the subtext is behavioral design. “Throughout the day” isn’t a casual time marker; it’s a target. The feed should have enough motion, novelty, and variability to create a habit loop, turning users into regular listeners. “Dynamic” signals constant change, but also managed change: curated fluctuations engineered to feel alive without becoming chaotic.

Contextually, it sits at the crossroads of media and measurement: the moment when information stops being an occasional update and becomes a continuous soundtrack. Rose’s language reveals how quickly usefulness gets redefined as stickiness. What counts as “good” isn’t accuracy or depth; it’s whether the stream can hold attention in small, repeated doses. The line quietly captures a cultural pivot: from data as a tool you consult to data as a companion you check, like a beat you can’t quite stop tapping along to.
