It may have started out the way you say, but it sure looks like Marky didn’t want it to stay that way.
It became commercial and political as soon as it could. And that defeats the social aspect of it in my opinion.
How did we use to get most of our news? Not from reading newspapers or even watching/listening to news, but from what we heard from our friends, family and co-workers…
That has not changed, just the speed and extent to which rumors and retold stories can circle the globe.
