The worst kind of tech hype is when something is portrayed as inevitable and unstoppable, with criticism or doubt blithely dismissed as "they don't get it".

Just because a giant tech company pours vast amounts of money down a toilet, that doesn't mean the toilet is going to start spewing gold coins into the air.

@FediThing I think it’s especially dangerous when multiple big tech companies get on [insert whatever overhyped tech thingy here] and it just exponentially increases said hype.

Some journalists have real difficulty believing that multiple giant companies can make the same huge mistake all at once, despite lots of examples from the past few years.
