Additionally i disagree with the spirit of this article.

The existence of the internet doesn't increase the number of bad photographers nor does it "Kill good photography" it just allows bad photographers to remain bad photographers whilst simultaneusly allowing them some level of self esteem.

Good photographers and good photography is still very much alive.
