TFA is about power laws, and how the few contribute much for the many. These extremely prolific contribitors are outside the norm, and obsessive - or "insane", according TFA.

All contribution to society follows such power laws: classical music, scientists, authors, leaders etc. Einstein, Newton, Mozart, Tolstoy.

The surprise here is that social media internet contribution appears grass-roots, egalitarian and norm-representative.
