Comment on The Age of Facebook

Why are all the unfun things making it big? By unfun I mean being at the mercy of megacorps (Apple, Facebook, Google). So we had a couple of good years with the internet and individuality, and now it is supposed to be all over?

Is this because of the innate herd nature of the human race, that is, people just like being told what to do?

The masses prefer the easiest way to have fun. Drugs, alcohol, unhealthy sex are all dangerous but ... fun.

And maintaining independence takes a lot of effort, which isn't fun.
