Usually, it’s the result of a small group of people, sometimes a single person, completely obsessed beyond all rational comprehension. They’re not doing it for money. And many times not even for pleasure. Most likely, they simply can’t stop.

Quantity is everywhere. Our modern world is full of people and machines and software making more. Not better. Just more. They may be doing it for money. They may be doing it for pleasure. But they also can’t stop.
