The article is totally wrong. The internet is now more than ever a good place for this kind of thing.

> Hardly anyone “surfs” the Web anymore.

Doesn't the whole click-bait "industry" specifically because people are surfing?

What's more, even on social media, things like "Weird Facebook" come into existence. Huge groups form with no clear purpose other than seemingly to be exactly the kind of internet "arcades" that the article is describing.
