@ins0mniak @D00B @MrFuzzland @bot @kroner Everyone has a book out and they're all shit.
I wish it were more difficult to write a book so you couldn't just shit one out on demand like everyone with a podcast or YouTube channel has.
Only media with a high enough barrier to entry will maintain a tolerable signal to noise ratio. Even fedi is too easy to use and this suffers and extremely low bandwidth due to this effect. You can't stop the signal but you can choke it down to a mere trickle.

@pwm @D00B @MrFuzzland @bot @kroner Agreed.
Low barrier of entry equals lower quality of content.
USENET a great early example.
Now any clown with a $30 7/11 tracphone can shit up a website.

The biggest barrier is that USENET required some work to start using.
When people can download an app and start ranting, you get the left side of the bell curve predominating.

Lowering the bar for recording the music — not having all off the equipment that only big studios had, and access to which only a contract with big-name recording company could give you, gave us lots of great music.
Sure, the most part of the product that lowering the bar gives us is absolute and utter shit — the number of good things is also greater, it just takes more effort to find those things.

What a lot of people miss are not good things, but institutionalisation — someone having to find good things for them 🤷
