... which is the rainbow of typical humans, being what they are; people being people, amusing & entertaining themselves in all the diverse ways to which H. sapiens is so charmingly & distressingly inclined. It's gossip & cleverness & here-hold-my-beer-and-watch-this!

It's mostly just a matter of the cost of the Internet Medium falling toward zero, and thereby affordably lending itself to whatever casual purpose & role folks can dream up. Look at what it costs to smoke tobacco or weed, drink, or - more telling yet - to engage in any of the healthful 'sports' ... which business people 'serve' by selling 'uniforms' that participants must replace (he-he-he) with each fashion-season.

Again, this trend - the effects & consequences of the falling price of information & the Medium by which it is transmitted - is plainly visible well back into history. By the late 19th C, a blizzard of 'popular press' publications were horning in on the technical-fields action that 'proper' professionals & comfortable ivory-tower academics previously held & controlled and milked as their private fiefdoms.

Amateur technical hobby publication contracted dramatically following the great Hippie Revolution, 40 years back. Dozens of high-profile, profitable tech-hobby magazines fell to the way-side. Today, we are watching a steady growth of the DIY Do It Yourself field, on the Internet. This field was a serious 800 pound gorilla in the publication industry, for about 100 years. It shrunk a lot in recent decades, but is now showing a sustained resurgence on the 'Net.

Is this bad? Well, the high-brows used to pitch a fit about it. Those who wanted to run profit-oriented businesses often ridiculed the 'homemade and kitchen-table' crowd. Did this amateurism lead to the collapse of modern civilization? Well ... rank hobbyists both constructed & programmed the first generations of Personal Computers .... and, cough, were involved in designing & coding - uh-huh - The Internet.
