oh and the "public whims" are also engineered by algorithms remember. they push these people into not only the site, but all over the media too - with every instagram post becoming global news. What chance does a real person really have?

Yes, it's partly artificial, but the public need to buy into the brands. It's a big pyramid with not much room at the top. Who would have seen all this coming when the internet was young? Billions have a computer in their pocket and crave entertainment. I know my tastes are far from typical and I'm not the target audience for most of this stuff. Happily my kids do not seem too obsessed with it either.
