I hear people say this, but I'm not terribly convinced. At the very least, the interesting stuff is harder to find than ever before. It sure does seem like there's less of it than ever to me, but that might be because it's hiding better?

Maybe that's because the search engines come from the purveyors of the easy stuff, not the purveyors of the interesting stuff.

Interesting stuff is infinitely fragmented, also.

I like my interesting stuff, and other people's interesting stuff is ... uninteresting.

If the difficulty of finding interesting stuff is D, but I'm actually only interested in 0.1% of the interesting stuff, then the difficulty I perceive is 1000D.
