The other rule of the Internet:
PEOPLE WANT STUFF.They don’t necessarily care what it is, as long as it is NEW TO ME. It can be OLD STUFF that has 503,025 views on YouTube, or LITERALLY OLD STUFF that some kind soul took the time to digitize and upload. But the days of a magazine once a month, a newsmagazine once a week, a paper once a day, a TV news broadcast twice a day and radio headlines on the half-hour – well, that’s practically Victorian, brother, real old Morse-lamp and carrier-pigeon style. STUFF must be provided every time we mouse up to the bookmarks. That’s why you have bookmarks, isn’t it? If someone doesn’t have STUFF someone else will. -- Lileks, Zep, Tot, Tweet, Tumbl
