One benefit I see is that it will usually produces something very politically correct that will usually go through the endless censorship that has taken over the internet (personally on the web since beginning of the 90's it was something else entirely, a mix of academic papers & free flowing ideas on clumsy graphics all over the place - oh boy that was so much decentralized and fun).
But then I only see problems: flatness, falseness, shallowness, lack of originality, creativity and most of all the dependency it slowly develops.
