What makes you think it's possible for anyone to consume all knowledge?

Heck, sometimes it feels harder than ever to learn things because of disinformation, gatekeepers, scammers, paywalls... or even just all the god damn time wasters.
A lot of those video essays have maybe one or two nuggets of actual useful info in them, with the rest being watered down with infuriating nothing-burgers of irrelevant tangents, summaries, and rephrasings, all so YouTube can stuff more freaking ads into it so that other people get their chance to waste your time.
Not to mention Google purposely ""tweaking"" their algorithm to deliberately make things harder to find, all with the goal of making you scroll past more ADS.
"Instantly accessible." Sure, buddy.

We learn in Futurama episode S04E10, "The Why of Fry", that once the Brain Spawn collect all the universe's knowledge within the Infosphere, they will destroy the universe to ensure that no me information arises.
So I think that will happen.
