This is how populist politics works. The thing that appeals to the most people isn't necessarily the thing we should be doing.
The internet and web appealed to a small percentage of people in the early 90s, and it was glorious. You had to put in effort to get anything out, which meant most people didn't bother, which meant it was a nice place. The music industry similarly had a high level of entry. Both are filled with crap now.
Elitist old man shouting at clouds? Maybe. Doesn't mean I'm wrong though.
Or the lowest.
