I wanna give me $0.02 on this whole Neflix numbers dropping/crypto bubble blowing/ Twitter being sold/Facebook meta.

Not to sound condescending but it’s been bound to happen, if you study statistics you learn about how things stagnate or reach its peak, and honestly here we are. There’s only so much of the population the internet can cater to, and it’s made worse with the millions of people we lost to covid. Like the internet has peaked, it’s only downhill from here until something new pops up and brings that line back up but it’s only going to show the same numbers.

Tech bros are so obsessed with rising numbers and “the infinite possibilities “ but they lack the understanding that not everything lasts forever. Everyone has access to the internet, even third world countries have access to it but not everyone uses it because many people have come to this realization: We don’t need to prioritize our lives around the internet. This is why Zucky boo is so hell bent on meta because it’s the future of social media that can bring back some crazy numbers, but that future is still too far to really give to the general populace.

Tech bros want us plugged into their matrix so bad to justify their expensive hobby, that they’re even buying up social media platforms for $45M, completely ignoring basic human needs, because they have this idea in their head that we’re all thinking the same priorities. They’re completely detached from reality and their mommies or daddies are knocking on their bedrooms to get some work done.
