Well in all honesty, I think this article isn't trying to say the Internet is inherently shitty, but more subjectively shitty. By that, I mean it appears the way people approach the information presented, and the way we value it has turned an otherwise incredible resource into a vague, hard to define collection of data. By that argument, some of what he says makes sense.
Take for example modern academia's persistent fear of Wikipedia. It's almost like it's threatening their way of life and their authority on the rite of passage of knowledge.
Maybe I'm just crazy though, but I only agree with him in the sense that so-called "experts" still have a distrust of the Internet, and the trust we put in them lowers the value of everything that truly matters.
