I don't disagree but I don't like this article.
Internet is just human.
You see the negativity and the loudest people and keep forgetting about the silent majority.

Open source projects, people organizing events/ charities, communities geeking out over the same stuff, Wikipedia - basically all the human knowledge is at your fingerprints.

Scammers, abusers, margin groups, hate groups - they are all there. It is just so much easier to see the negative parts.
