The internet has historically operated as a level playing field for all types of ideas and content. Today, this concept is under attack.

1. You flip on the internet, and it's like wind blowing through your hair.

2. The internet is where you realize that, while nobody is exactly like you, there are thousands (or millions) of people who share your specific interests.

3. This might be your friend's secret obsession...

4. ...and this might be your secret obsession:

5. It doesn't matter what you're into because you can always hop on your surfboard and go wherever you want, whenever you want.

6. The internet is where we go to learn about other parts of the world...

7. ...and find love.

8. It's how we get our fix of cute animals.

9. (So many cute animal fixes!)

10. And where unique communities flourish. Like elevator enthusiasts...

11. ...human dolls...

12. ...aspiring dancers...

13. ...half-horse, half-people...

14. ...and people who are totally insane.

15. It's where we find an endless stream of wins...

16. ...fails...

17. ...and wins that might also be fails.

18. Basically, the internet provides something for everyone.
