Thats the fundamental reason we end up with an Attention Economy - People have limited Attention to pay to everything, But unlimited capacity/need to receive Attention (via Michael Goldhaber). This plants the seed for the info explosion (those 200 bikeshedding comments or those 6 billion videos on how to boil an egg). To counter it we have rankings of comments and links and news feeds from google to fb to hn. But its just another layer of bullshit cause most of the pool of what is being ranked is bullshit. We are yet to design Information systems that take into account what Goldhaber said about Attention 3-4 decades ago.
