The issue is we work in a field that has had a bubble in the past so until it inevitably happens again, the doubters will look for every sign that a bubble exists, contrary to the truth of the matter. In a similar manner to the housing market, technology will always be seen as "bubbly" and every high valuation just feeds the rhetoric. Ebbs and flows in economies is natural and known to anyone that studies macroeconomics even at the basic level, but truth doesn't sell: fear and doubt does unfortunately. It's annoying, but not quite as destructive as the other fear mongering happening with other news around the world.
