It's condescending, but, well, it's correct.
At this point in human history with the analytics we all have available it's pretty easy to see that the vast majority of people favor bite-size disposable content over longwinded discourse.
Look at the success of businesses that pander to the ever-more-frivolous. The Cheezburger network probably has more money spent on/in it than the New Yorker.
We don't have to hate the proles, but let's never delude ourselves in to thinking they don't exist.
