Without a doubt. This is capitalism after all, and
it's good, from a theoretical viewpoint, that you have
pointed this out.

But the practical question of "what can we do with
it?" still remains. It is, in fact, a mass phenomenon
- part of how a whole generation communicates and
interacts. 

And that's what we really have to get to grips with, I
think.
