A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm guessing venture capitalists trying to reel in some profits after racing to outspend each other. I expect many services to implode.

Couple that with a general global recession, and you've got companies that overextended themselves, desperate to make some money back before people realize the emperor has no clothes
That would make sense
