We would see so much less of politics and art / entertainment bleeding into one another.

Nah, I remember the internet of 20 years ago and there was noticeably less of a push to push political causes into otherwise-entertaining forums. Even 10 years ago there was a lot less. Not saying it was absolutely absent, either, but at least on the message boards I hung out on at the time, it was hardly a constant occurrence.

All existece is political but people don't see themselves as politicking 24/7. So the OP stands tall.

There's plenty of art around that is made purely for entertainment or monetary gains. Your statement is hipster, but false.

Doesn't matter because all the art would have to be linked because the vast majority of users would be on dial-up modems, and anyone sharing video links would be sure to remind everyone to "right-click, save as" or you'll wreck their website's bandwidth for the month. ;)

I actually had DSL pre 2000, so enjoy downloading 15-20 minutes per mp3.
