It's nothing to be happy about. It's shifting a pile of money around the table, from one kind of stupid brainless content to another mostly.

This idea of a brave new independent media vs stuffy old big media is in many ways an illusion. There's huge capital and algorithms steering the plebs towards this new kind of crap to consume. What matters is the crap is always dominant. That's the rule. As long as that's the case nothing changes.
