Ad networks have been a key enabler of decentralized publishing. Anyone can sign up to an ad network and start getting paid for clicks. No traditional gatekeepers there. So I'm not sure where you get this idea that what I'm saying is in any way contradictory to what you said.

The implication of the above comment is "low rent chum will die (good) but establishment channels like newspapers will also die (bad)". I'm saying that the decentralized "low rent" stuff is the value of the Internet imo, not providing another medium for channels that already exist.
