Yes, it takes skill to obtain information from the internet, just like it takes skill to obtain information from reading books in the library(you have to know how to read).
If you lack these skills, you are limited to the comicbook section in the library, and to cat videos on the internet.
Internet is a much superior tool of obtaining information, obviously. Just because it takes skill to use it, doesn't mean that it's worse.

It may only be more convenient than going to a library or walking the halls of a university. I don't think the answer is obvious to anyone who takes the time to properly examine the matter. Unfortunately for the both of us the medium itself is terrible for philosophical enquiry so we probably won't cover much ground in a discussion framed by popular opinion. You will now set out to prove me wrong and hope to gather support from people who already agree with you. We will not at all engage in the cooperative quest for wisdom. Such is life on the internet.
