+37 Microtrends are destroying the ecosystem of the internet. amirite?

i mean, the internet was always supposed to be about a grand coalescence. the thing is, it's not as beautiful as we'd hoped, in fact... it's becoming a demonic point of singularity, from which I believe there is no point of return.

I mean....if everyone/anyone can make a website....what did you think it was gonna be like? All our interests/tastes/information/media/entertainment are not homogenized from the start any more.

I wasn't really sure how to phrase it, but previously niche (or even just slightly less OUT THERE! IN YOUR FACE! type) things suddenly exploding into "macrotrends" (for lack of a better term) only to die out and leave the hole they once filled even emptier than before makes me feel incredibly sick and nervous in a way that I can't quite describe. Not that things like this haven't hapened before, but somehow, now they feel even more soulless than ever.

I am totally pro gatekeeping in some areas. I'm not even a fan of Warhammer but it looks like they aren't doing too good right about now.
