Pretty much. The industry was for ‘those nerds’ in the days, then dot-com came and holy shit, money to be made, but for a time, let the nerds cook because the investor class had no idea and kind of knew they had no idea.

Then the crash put the investor class firmly at the wheel and the industry has been significantly distorted since then, motivation wise.

Clearly good things have happened, but there’s always this anti-user angle at play now.
