Don't worry, there will be algorithms to help you find what you like. And content will still go viral within subcultures.

As always, anticipated (at least in some sense) by Neal Stephenson:

Except the algorithms don’t help me find new things I like. They never have, and I’m starting to suspect that they never will.
What they find - what they’re designed to find - is more of the same. Which is only “more things I like” in à very, very shortsighted sense.
