I think this is more applicable to a specific subculture (the mainstream) that it is to everyone. For me who relies mostly on older style forums and image boards, there is no algorithm and identity is reviled. And you'd be surprised at the influence of these boards even today, not just in the english internet but internationally.

Those areas have their own cons, and the mainstream has chosen accessibility over sincerity. But looking at the damage down today, I can't say if that was the right choice to make for them.
