One of the internet's most important legacies is its absolute destruction of credentialism.
(via peterfeld)
Quite right. I’ll never forget when I started getting traffic for my political / war blog. I had no credentials. I was an eighteen year old (seventeen year old?) high school drop-out. But people read. Eventually millions of them. Even people in the White House and DoD and ODCI. And the New York Times never would have given me an inch of column space. All I needed was a $20 virtual host and a MovableType installation.
If you remember this, you’re (sadly) ahead of about 90% of media’s ‘ruling class’.
