The monocultures of the internet

One of the biggest problems with the internet, especially culturally, is the rise of the monoculture. It seems as if every weird internet community has been assimilated into one singular monoculture. Every group, every person, is the same exact individual with a different number. It doesn't matter where you go, everyone is the same and has the same interests.
