    i think the next Big One will be the collapse of the entire "tech" industry as one by one the various avenues for the potential Next Big Thing fail to yield returns for investors, and advertisers begin to question whether they're getting their money's worth from the data brokers.

        Unfortunately I don't think that much will happen because there just aren't enough tech workers compared to the rest of the economy. It will be funny to watch the seething on hacker news though.

          There also aren't enough nurses or medical assistive staff, but that hasn't really meant that conditions haven't been turned to shit. Companies will inevitably make every working class person part of the precariat in due time.

        I wonder what will happen if suddenly their situation becomes just as precarious as other workers.

        I'll probably be fucked.

      I agree, the advertising is the key part. Like half of the internet economy is built on the idea that online ads are a good way to market. If people lose confidence in that, a lot of tech companies are disappearing.
