It's not obvious at all. You see a problem, I see opportunities. The person you responded to mentioned Reddit. Well, the glut of garbage on the internet makes Reddit more valuable.

The "please, god, find me something a real person actually said about this real thing" isn't actually a problem very many people have. Despite all the complaining here, most people are happy with the results they get when they search Google or Bing or Facebook or Reddit.

So like every technology, there are positives and negatives. It isn't clear to me where this all nets out but I'm leaning slightly positive.

And if you don't find this technology fascinating, then I'm not sure what to say.

If given the choice between a dime and a fiver, is the fiver somehow worth more than if I'd offered you the choice between a fiver and a tenner instead?
