"One of the features of powerlaws is that they are 'fractal,' which is to say that no matter how far you zoom in they still look like powerlaws.
Mathematicians describe this as the "self similarity" at multiple scales, but what it means is that the long tail is made of many minitails, each of which is its own little world."
