I think their point was that "old internet" was harder to use as a publishing platform than the new one, not necessarily that what we got was the best evolution, but that it has enabled non-techies to publish more.

harder to use as publishing platform by who? don't you mean businesses & corporations?

people have always been fine. myspace anyone? geocities? irc? icq? aol? msn? yahoo? the list goes on... also the remarkable thing is that people just move to newer and better back then.

"It's bad that X has happened!"

"But Y has happened, too, and that is good!"

Yeah, so what? Unless Y happening is predicated on X happening, that is just completely irrelevant to the discussion?
