I don't know what's cooking there either. The point is the end-user experience has been nothing like what these Nostradamuses have been predicting.

There is no cost for making wild predictions that turn out wrong. In real life if a friend did that you'd begin discounting his talk. On social media that doesn't seem to happen, because there's a sucker born every minute, and crowds like to indulge in mood affiliation and emotional venting rather than rational analysis.
