BUT, I think the author is looking for deviance in some of the wrong places
In the section at the end, he does admit that possibility:
The internet ethnographer Katherine Dee argues that the most interesting art is happening in domains we don’t yet consider “art”, like social media personalities, TikTok sketch comedy, and Pinterest mood boards.
But I also think he's right about movies, music, architecture, corporate logos, etc.

off grid living, tiny homes, non-standard pets, lake culture, trail rides, guerilla playgrounds, CPNS, take-overs, pull up concerts, unlicnensed popups, dump truck beaches, etc
Hm interesting. It feels like the Internet has made off-grid living more feasible. Well I only know from YouTube :-/
But from watching those videos, it does seem like there is a ton of information that can be a matter of life and death ... which you can either find out (1) the hard way (2) from a book or a neighbor (the old ways), or (3) through the Internet !
So the Internet can make new(-ish) things more possible, but I also think it has a dampening/homogenizing effect, as many others said in this thread
