Eternal september only becomes bad when corporations start hiring positions to advertise on these new platforms. Otherwise, its an idyllic period of sharing information and cultural development, right up until media sinks their teeth into such a large market of consumer's eyeballs and attempts to shift the point of focus from interesting things that are genuinely interesting to profitable things that are often genuinely harmful, because its infinitely easier and far more profitable to engineer something that is harmful to a degree than to account for all the potential harmful externalities (In biology we see this as well; among symbiotic relationships, parasitic interactions are far more likely to evolve than mutually beneficial interactions that could take millions of years of evolutionary change to emerge in a steady state).
