Will network literature eventually overwhelm traditional literature?

My view is that widespread communication and social recognition are two concepts. As long as online literature is not recognized by orthodox culture, no matter how many people like to read online literature, it can't overwhelm traditional literature.

First, culture is a top-down change, not a bottom-up change. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, novels were deeply loved by the public and had a wide influence, but after many years of circulation, they remained a dirty style. Traditional Chinese opera and other cultures are related to the interests of the ruling class, so10 million ordinary people love to watch online literature, which cannot make online literature orthodox, because cultural changes are from top to bottom. (See comments for more examples. )

Second, culture is a part of safeguarding the state's ruling power and a natural social order, which is often used to distinguish classes. People who like listening to classical music will acquiesce that the other person is well-educated, imagine that the other person comes from a very high class, and you will distinguish people from different classes around you by understanding the culture of certain classes. The significance of this culture is all-encompassing, including the other party's consumption habits, his accent and his daily etiquette. These are all cultures. In addition to class, you can also judge the country/region where a person grew up by the culture he shows, so people in some areas will be considered as low-quality in the whole region. Because culture, region and class are linked together. Therefore, if online literature is not recognized by the upper class and cannot be linked with the lifestyle of the upper class, it will never turn over.

Third, there is a natural evaluation mechanism for mainstream culture. Anything new that enters a culture will be automatically defined by the standards set by the mainstream culture. However, under the suppression of mainstream culture, because nature is regarded as heresy, online literature is difficult to be recognized by everyone, because everyone's way of thinking is endowed by mainstream culture. For example, the content of online literature under this problem, in fact, no one cares, everyone naturally feels vulgar. Actually, isn't paper vulgar? Vulgar traditional literature can also be seen everywhere. We can see that a stereotype has been formed in society: online literature is vulgar culture. As long as online literature does not take off this label, as long as the public agrees with this view, online literature will never overwhelm traditional literature because its image is marginalized. To sum up, as long as online literature is not recognized by mainstream culture, no matter how many people like to watch online literature, it cannot overwhelm traditional literature.
