In a practical sense, it doesn't matter if it's cat videos or anything else. We still need to manage the data, which means work for us in the data business. Businesses are finding more ways to capture data, arguably lots of which isn't useful or important, but we must still deal with it.
I know, and I appreciate all the opportunity it provides. I was just commenting that most today's databases have a low signal-to-noise ratio. Somtimes it seems we spend too much time thinking about how to manage and store data without considering how best to architect and optimze data.
