Sick of social media, and stuck with it

The year is 2025 and the state of human interaction is at a crossroads. We’ve been here before. The social Internet reinvents itself every decade and five years after a pandemic things have coalesced.

For the better the Internet continues to be a place of discovery, entertainment and shared zeitgeist. At it’s worst it is a terrible conveyer of current events, of share in-depth analysis and a creator of civil public discourse. Personal posturing and AI generated content may have irrevocably broken things.

A stark reminder of where the “big three” auto makers rank by market cap. If the future of automotive is electric, Tesla obviously has an early advantage. Toyota takes a slightly different track with hybrids. Maybe you’ve never heard of BYD, but the Chinese manufacturer has already seen success with exporting vehicles.

Summary

Starting February 9, Twitter will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. Any app or site that relies on free API is doomed, long term. With data privacy on the rise and ad revenue declining across the board, I expect more services to begin charging for access. 

A brief summary of Dot-Com Bubble 2.0: How Did We Get Here? by Prithvi Raj Chauhan posted on Hacker Noon

Overview

The bubble repeated, for different underlying speculative reasons but effectively the same boom-bust cycle. What happens next to employment and the broad economy is likely a replay of the early 2000s.

@Prcwrites does a great job covering the technical aspects, I’d like to add some perspective from the employment.
