Yep, good write-up that hits a lot of the points about how the great equalizer for communication - the Internet - also allows the ugly side of human nature to shine as well.
It's sort of like a twisted reverse of the old saying "Never meet your heroes" - this is a case of "Never interact with your audience" and that might take hold as a credo as well.
>I see things getting worse - creators walling themselves off from fans while corporate masters happily throw vision and storytelling under the bus to appease the people who can get hashtags trending.
I don't think that's getting worse, I think that's a return to form. The Entertainment Industry is all about chasing money, first and foremost. Yes, there is art within the industry but it's not some kind of altruistic charity thing.
