An exaggerated comment, I think. There's a lot more content out there on the net, there's no way all content gets an equal share of attention - you end up with a lot of concentration and a greater amount of darkness. Actually every little thing you post and share is diluted in enormous mass of information. Even viral videos are usually obscure for several years before someone influential happens to find them and relink them.
It may have been true at the earliest stages of the web, but in 2012, it's pretty hard to stand out on the web and to benefit from the "giant magnifying glass" you mention.
