YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

    Also if you drop a frog in boiling water it won’t jump out; it will die. That is not a survivable environment for a frog, not even long enough for it to jump.

    Also if you put a frog in cold water and you don’t immediately shut the lid, it will jump out. They don’t sit still for you.

    It’s amazing how thoroughly wrong that metaphor is. Like it’s just got it perfectly backwards.
