Certainly a combination! Here’s a study I think every child should be taught, where they created artificially compartmentalized worlds for new music. They found:

1) many songs had almost no downloads in any world. They were “truly bad“, and avoiding that is the skill

2) amongst the non-bad, different song is went viral in different worlds. That is the luck.

So you’re both; half-congratulations!
