Freedom of choice aside, there is also a shocking lack of awareness that a major factor in the rise of the internet is that it wasn't like traditional media. There were memes, blogs, video content, music, etc. that would never gain traction with the legacy entertainment industry. There is no point in using youtube or twitter if it's all just clips from mainstream tv or shittakes from established pundits that I can see on repeat on cable all day anyways.
