Of course there's always lots of cool stuff going on in the fringes but as far as mainstream society goes with this consolidation of power and wealth and so many mergers eating up any decent competition it does seem pretty bleak. I've pretty much eschewed any new stuff from big tech for a while now, it's was very sad to watch the web turn into a place of such open and creative expression into what it is today full of rigid standards, bloated frameworks, bots, AI, endless advertising, bland design, spam, spam, spam, bacon, eggs and spam.
