people have been saying this for thousands of years.
- twomoretime 6y agoCompare publishing a book 100 years ago to publishing a book now. I can write literally whatever I want and self publish. Before there was more implicit vetting to all of the media we consumed. That people were talking about it being easier a thousand years ago only suggests that it has been true for a long time. You cannot deny that it is easier than ever in history to publish information or art. And if you track the progression of technology you'll see that those people a thousand years ago weren't necessarily wrong. Starting with the invention of writing, then ink, then the printing press.....and now the internet.
