Having enlightening experiences of learning requires effort. Anybody who wants to learn and thrive on any topic needs to make an effort to curate the sources he's consuming. That's not new. It certainly isn't an internet thing.
We've always paid to be entertained and educated. And money is earned with effort. When content wasn't as abundant, you needed to be selective with what you wanted to consume. You developed a taste, and continued to consume that type of content, hence basically becoming a curator of whatever your interest was.
The problem now, with all content being free, is that we pay with our time. And time is our most valuable currency.
So yes. Even though there's an initial effort curve to build a Second brain (or any other system you like), the end result is a much better internet experience.
