YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

While these changes will eventually happen, as all of these companies are meant to make a profit from the start. The reason they’re all happening now is because of the coming recession, or at least the believe that it will come.
I don’t think reddit started out as a for profit company. iirc it started as some dudes sharing links. I knew a site like that back in the day. Link aggregator and forum made by one dude because he liked the community.
There’s a coming recession?
It’s 2008 again. Bad bets taking advantage of dovish monetary policy that has now ended.
Maybe, maybe not. You like betting?
100%. They want their bag before it all goes goes to shit.
