This could be a high-end news source like the New York Times; it could also be a small, niche site like Stratechery. He's massaging the examples here. Just because NYT is somewhat above the sewers of the Internet doesn't make it high-end. There's still a normal distribution with relatively little demand for vile content (shock sites), more for gossip sites, a lot for Buzzfeed and other click bait factories, including what fills many Facebook feeds, then less for NYT and the like, finally very little for niche, truly high quality sources (blogs run by hobbyists, hackers, professionals, academics).

>He's massaging the examples here. Just because NYT is somewhat above the sewers of the Internet doesn't make it high-end. That's beside the point (not to mention that when it comes to perceived quality, the vast majority of people would call NYT high quality, even if they don't read it). The point is most will either go to few specific sources or to a few generic aggregators, instead of breaking their surfing across a large distribution of sites (as people did more in mid-nineties).
