Isn't this pretty much what "elites" are for?

I think they tend to be fashion critics more than anything else.

I think don't expect intelectual work to work on reddit is very scalable for a start, or any faceless interface. There's a reason sciences still hold conferences, which should appear rather uneconomic if internet was a viable competitor. It was never meant to be thst, but many people seem to think so, effectively isolating themselves and becoming detached from reality.

This is just a random internet comment of course, so ymmv
