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?

    This worked when there was basically no interest on money that was lent from banks. But now when the interest is on the uprise. Well, naturally investors and banks pull the plug.

    To be fair. I’m quite surprised that the plug wasn’t pulled several years ago. Twitter has almost never being in the black, always in the red. Reddit has never publicly showed it’s numbers, not yet. But would not surprise me if it was red numbers every year.
