Back in ye olde days, people would travel by ship to talk to a smart guy, memorize everything they said then return back to their lands with the memory, and spread it amongst their tribe. Then we invented writing. People would still travel to a library to copy a book down and then bring it back to their libraries. There would be less errors too. Then the printing press. It was easy to make lots of books. Even less errors because books would be identical, word for word. We lost quite a bit of art here, but it was worth. Then the internet. Copying a book was simply CMD+A, CMD+C, CMD+V. Then Web 2 like FB and Twitter. You didn't even need books. You could just @ any celebrity in the world. But the cheaper information is, the cheaper misinformation became. The will to produce information is often much greater than producing misinformation. I think friction is too low on some places; the classic forums were probably information at its ideal.
