>pure greed
was tech industry the same back in the 90s?

>>107160429 (OP)
No. It had fewer pajeets back then, and the tech was actually exciting and made people feel hopeful and optimistic

>>107160429 (OP)
There was far less circle-jerking back then; now every company is paying their supposed competition as if they are in a cum-swapping orgy.

>>107160429 (OP)
Back then, the US economy didn't follow the China model until Trump shoved it by seizing the means of production through the Intellaviv deal.
So this bubble might keep going for a longer time.

Microsoft was the OG pure greed in tech but the reptilians got into tech and turned up the greed.

>>107160491
Don't forget there a lot of consolidation now.
Three a lot more eggs in far fewer baskets than the 90s

>>107160846

>was tech industry the same back in the 90s?
it was the same even much earlier

yeah

>>107160429 (OP)
Yes, it's just that the standards were much higher because everybody in tech was white.

>>107160429 (OP)
Everyone is greedy. Greed and hubris created the modern world. You think yourself a saint patron of Buddha. Your communist leaders have mislead you

Why do you nostalgiafags always memoryhole the dotcom bubble?

>>107163297
Nostalgiafags are zoomer trash that would rather paint a rosy picture of a past they never actually experienced and spend their time complaining about how bad things are now than actually apply themselves and learn something because they are incapable of learning. They get all their info from tiktok and YouTube influencers. It is some form of psychosis. If they were capable of doing productive things they wouldn't be nostalgiafags. Prime example is this loser >>107160434

>>107160429 (OP)
I hate him because he made my ram more expensive.

>>107160434
This right here.

Ignore this pasta >>10716338. He would piss and moan about a free lunch.

The ONLY people who don't agree that the old internet was better than the modern cancer hellscape we have today are:
>1. Third world Indians who weren't around for it back then
>2. Zoomers who weren't around for it back then
So which one are you?

>>107160429 (OP)
>was tech industry the same back in the 90s?
No. I'm not a nostalgia fag, but there was something to really be excited about because things were made with quality and user experience in mind. Companies and the people that worked in them actually wanted to build products that worked because they knew that profit margins don't mean shit if your product is shit, and if your product is shit, then your brand identity gets a huge shitstain on it too.

It wasn't perfect by any means because R&D was proprietary (universities and companies had big deals with each other), product licensing meant that you never owned the product that you bought with your own money (see file sharing wars and product warranties) and FOSH/FOSS was a small niche that was constantly under legal fire. Today, the FOSS community and universities are doing much of the heavy lifting in innovation because megacorps are super risk averse because there was a huge financial crash in 2008. Normally, financial crashes give way to inflation which in term drives up the costs of everything. Companies and their chain of suppliers will now have to optimize for lower manufacturing costs which makes everything shit. Add that to the "move fast and break things" ethos, and now everything is over marketed shit held together by FOSS glue.

I have used the "internet" since 1993. You aren't nostalgic for "the old internet", you are nostalgic for something that never existed. Advertising was prolific and cancerous by the late 90s. Normies have been everywhere since the AOL days. There is no scenario where broadband existed and the internet wasn't filled with bloated garbage.

You aren't nostalgic for the old internet, you are nostalgic for your youth, your childhood, the sense of wonder and unknown. That wasn't because the internet was so great it was because you were younger or even a kid.

Grow up. You cannot go back. You will never have that feeling again. You should be fucking embarrassed to be a grown man longing for childhood. Accept the world and move on.
