Is that really true though? Anything like the old passion sites would be lost to SEO amongst the deluge of garbage content, thanks to the sheer volume of people at least trying to use the internet to get rich. The quality on average is certainly garbage level, it's like looking for a diamond in the Great Pacific garbage patch. So maybe it's technically true anyone can make a diamond today, without the profit motive, it's just that nobody will ever see it amongst all the average shit tier stuff you find everywhere you look. And that's literally the "something worse" that has replaced the old internet.
