Having a voice unlike another means you've "found yourself" as a writer.

Online writing is supplementary, complementary, another part of the whole, something that's only as important as one's investment in it.

There's a ton of good art and music and writing out there offline among a ton of trash, and the same goes with what's online.

I really wouldn't call a lot of what's online "literature" since that word, to me, refers to a sub-genre of writing that belongs to the heavy-hitters, the canonical writers, Shakespeare, Dante, Milton, Dostoevsky, Kafka, and even Toni Morrison, George Saunders, Thomas Bernhard, Sebald, Borges, DFW, e.g.

I'm an only child and an American and am wholly in favor of uniqueness of voice in everything, especially music and writing.

The Internet is perfect for delivering large blocks of text to people throughout the world for free. That's a plus. The downside is the ADD, the Internet-addled Attention Deficit Disorder.

If you want to change things in the USA it's best not to spend all your time writing but to take action against the ol' sea of troubles.
