Wondering if this should be subject to Hanlon’s Razor ("never assume bad 
intentions when assuming stupidity is enough” is Wikipedia’s version) regarding 
the intent of the digital producers, whether they are pop stars or corporations 
or (ugh) ‘thought leaders’

So those digital technology inventors, producers and distributors _might_ just 
be behaving economically rationally.  Bread and circuses sells quite nicely, 
thankyouverymuch.  The net corrosive impact on society might just be an 
unfortunate externality.  "We have met the enemy and he is us" and all that.

Or maybe someone wants to argue that ProPublica could actually beat TMZ’s user 
metrics, but the only thing holding them back is a skewed playing field….
