I can't help feeling that a lot of stuff on the web is ephemeral anyway. There is no quick way to success in anything worthwhile whether painting, writing, science, music, whatever. Easy access to the web seems to lead some people to think they can achieve recognition without any real work. It's largely a kind of fidgeting, fiddling with a keyboard, learning some little trick with html (not exactly a 'real' programming language) and generally a displacement activity. In most cases, the result has no more significance for the world than a teenager's bedroom (unless you are Tracey Emet.)
