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 the tech industry has evolved into a highly speculative market and it’s just so transparant at this point

you’ll notice that all of these hypes are about services rather than material products. the beauty of it is that you can come up with any number of passing fads at virtually zero risk. there does not need to be an actual demand. nothing needs to be real as long as it keeps the money flowing.
