It used to be that the vast majority of media was controlled and shaped by very few people.
The internet is gradually changing that.
It's a pretty big deal. The internet is simultaneously an incredibly powerful publishing/distribution platform, and an incredibly powerful consumption channel.
So, take the title:
> I’m an Article About the Internet That You Repost on the Internet
It could be said, "I’m an Article About [Internet Consumption] That's [Published and Distributed on the Internet]"
Which suddenly comes across a lot less witty and clever.
Yeah, the internet is a big deal. People are going to keep talking about it. And the trivial noise? That was around before the internet; it's just no longer in the hands of a select few publishers/distributors.
