Despite all the bullshit techno-speak and false narratives about trends and generational differences, the only point about the rise of the blogosphere worth paying attention to was the way in which it created a public discourse driven by independent non-commercial voices instead of for-profit ad-farming institutions. Obviously, that couldn't last forever. Sooner or later the "creative class" finds a way to make it all about selling Red Bull again.
Maybe we could have prevented this by not saying fuck so much. I guess the world will never know.
