That isn't new for better or worse. Even with new defined broadly as "times that a person who is alive today lived through".
I am reminded amusingly about how moderation at scale pleasing everyone is impossible by complaining about how many pages lower mirrors were than original websites on Google.
- nkozyra 7y agoI disagree and I think it's intensifying. We used to find amusement and information from a single newspaper, a few ota television shows ... Even a decade ago the plethora of streaming options we have now we're absent or in infancy. Monetizing your videos as an average Joe was not reality. All that's changed. Influencers, content producers by the thousands are inventivized to create nonstop content to compete. That is new.
- Nasrudith 7y agoPutting aside the dispute about the novelty and intensity how is a decrease in gatekeepers both natural (the expense of distribution) and artificial relevant to the cited problem? They haven't made any positive difference and cannot. The incentives for "gloss" to sell are the same and the alternatives have their own evils.
