Academics don't think Internet will ruin everything. That usually comes from people making the viral thing du jour. Academics tend to know actual history. As for the first versus popularizer—you're judging different games by the same standard. Different incentives.

I pretty strongly disagree w/ this. Academics at the PhD level feeding into the job market optimize for status within the hierarchy of their guild & the larger academy (but mostly guild). Some of these skills may translate to BigCos but in general I think they'd be eaten alive.

The game has changed dramatically over the years, and the types of people attracted have also changed. Far more likely to attract people with more arbitrary interests because of the spread of the research enterprise. Consolation for decreasing pay is "I'll do what I want."
