I believe in this context smart doesn't mean the average intellectual capability of a netizen. It refers to the internet as a whole and its power to dissect information simply due to the sheer number of users dedicated to a certain topic.

I understand, but as you say, it is only true for certain topics, however, sadly, internet as a general is full of misinformation, disinformation, toxicity, and plain outright nonsense.

It's a bit strange that you're bothering to debate people here if you're so certain that someone pointing out the truth won't have any effect.

I am not sure it is worth repeating, but as I said, the notion that "internet is scary smart" is only true for certain groups and topics, but not internet as general. That does not mean there is no "smart" forums or smart people on the internet, nor I made any remarks about YC News.
