laurel (npub1z4g…zq0x) Dr. NEETzsche, GED (npub1nl9…axrx) npub1ey8w7d7gelz6f59ujztn73yy72sl4d6lmlyktslrlhmglp94xp0seqtjld (npub1ey8…tjld) I only think the internet (and digital technology for reproduction as a whole) are to blame for making things less intrinsically special by making everything too accessible.
Everything being too accessible is in my mind a problem, if people aren't careful with it (they aren't), because it can drive the extreme production of creativity in some sort of nostalgic rose-glasses view of early internet creativity OR it can lead to the opposite extreme of a death of meaningful production because nothing is special and no one cares about it.
The other part of the problem is basically the phone poster problem, where the average person shouldn't be given this level of access because they create a giant demand for slop, and then a market for people to produce it in such volumes as to demoralize and drown out those who produce meaningful, special content. The market always wins, in this respect, so when it changes, it kills off anything that doesn't conform.
