Most of the early internet pop culture ideas were very wrong.
They had zero grounding in the reality around them.
The subculture of saying the Internet is what they wanted it to be was what everyone worshipped. Clay and Cory and co.
Dreams like the Semantic web and "The Internet Perceives Censorship as Damage and Routes Around It"
Long tail being wrong is an interesting call.
I'd say probably correct. It went mid tail.
I have a "Birds aren't real tshirt" (I couldn't get a Red Dwarf t-shirt pre internet) but zero t-shirts of local businesses.
Don't care about bands down the road anymore but listen to African hackers songs about 411.
This topic needs more thought. It still might go from mid to long tail.
- njharman 4y ago> "The Internet Perceives Censorship as Damage and Routes Around It" That's true and actually happened. What was (and still is) naïve is people believe technology some how trumps "power". That those in power won't use their power to remain in power. "Power perceives challenge to that power as damage and routes around it" E.g. abuse copyright to silence, manipulate public outrage to force social media to censor themselves, to enact "blue checkmarks" and "trusted news sources", to clear cut our rights in the name of "protecting" us from pedophiles or terrorism.
