This is like economic growth: First bad, then upwards trajectory, then now in free-fall

You are describing it: Things in programing were bad, then suddenly all in the upside UNTIL it start to coming down.

Is not a refute of the problem. Is to pick a moment were both were bad, and like all the discussions about tech, MASSIVELY ignore that MASSIVE internet with MASSIVE money with MASSIVE backing is worse than before.

Is like people complaining that pistols on the wild west kill as do nuclear weapons, ignoring the massive difference in size and blast damage
