I don't think the Internet in all its panoply is 3000 flavours of pap. Unles pap is defined (here we go again) as anything that isn't High Lit. (In fact I suspect more of the Internet is scholarly research than it is LJ. But then again most of anything will be porn.) TV is , because in the end TV (except public b/casting) is funded by advertising, and advertisers haven't worked out how to apeal to anybody but the "mainstream" yet. The Internet OTOH is cheap enough for the self funded auteur.
