1. Nobody has really convincingly shown a "killer app" that the mass market and/or regular people need or want or even desire. So far it's techies selling to techies with massive losses and "don't worry we will eventually make a profit somehow, now hold this bag."

2. Remembering when I was a lad in the late 90s that there was a common thread of wisdom that all the IT and techie and programming jobs were just going to be outsourced to India anyway so everyone was doomed.

Hell, you don't even have to go that far back. Remember when we were all going to be working and playing in the Metaverse on our fancy headsets after the bigbrains all went to Burning Man or whatever and came back talking about it and then decided nope?
