That's a funny way of saying "race to the bottom."

How does "the internet do that?" What force on the internet naturally brings about mediocrity? Or have we confused rapacious and monopolistic corporations with the internet at large?
I'd call it race to the median, converging to mediocrity, or what the kids would call "mid"

Stack exchange. Google.
Please explain how these cause a "convergence to the mean."
