What a tired and lame take.

100m people used this latest iteration. It’s hardly a winter.

If there's anything the last few years has taught me is that hype is rarely any indication of common sense. I'm always surprised what reaches success and what doesn't. Truly revolutionary ideas are ignored and not understood while stupid but polished ideas are booming.

One example of that is the crypto space. So many actual good for humanity implications, but the "killer app" that made the news was fucking NFTs. I'm trying really hard not to come to the conclusion that humans are just mindless zombies but it's getting harder every year.

Once we reach a billion DAU you can be sure it will just be "Original Memes Tailored Just For YOU"™ instead of figuring out the logistics for solving world hunger. Mark my words.

The crash is gonna be wild when people realize all these companies are blowing smoke. We did get Google out of the last crash though I guess.
What a tired and lame retort.
