It feels like every few months there's a new tech "revolution" being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

Id go so far as to say SaaS in general. Small startups are paying $5000/month to send emails and we've come to the point where inboxes are monopolized and if you don't pay up to a cloud provider your emails end up in spam.

Take this and repeat for everything. Monopolize, ratchet up the costs, profit.
