I would say now that I'm in my thirties that my favorite part has been watching this mad scramble over the past decade of absolutely everything new and innovative becoming these out of control behemoths because investors somewhere decided that an app that rates farts has a market cap of $10 billion.

Now we've come into an era where fart app employs 20k people and they somehow need to make all of the money back that they burned building a global fartforce
