We are fed so much information, that we no longer feel the need to contribute something that doesn't add significant value.

this and it's also so cheap to consume, so we don't give the right value to others who do contribute, because we know we can always find others.

It's like how a small town might rally behind someone good, but a big city will only rally around someone great.
