They're actually quite active promoting their opinions.

Yes but there are a ton more people that don't believe in this. and more people equals better arguments and more of this belief spread around generally

So you would think...

But Andrew Keen actually founded a Silicon Valley startup called Audiocafe.com back in 1995. So it seems like it is possible to both use the Internet and claim that it is ruining our culture.

In my opinion, Keen is basically an elitist-- he seems like he would be cool with the Internet if only the people he deems qualified could contribute to it.
