I still think most people using the internet regularly find themselves in weird cul-de-sacs. It's very easy to find surprising and novel things to read, watch, look at. I'd be surprised if lots of people don't also have that experience.

Thirty years ago, people had a choice of four main TV channels, three newspapers, and whatever the Billboard 100 said they should listen to.
