A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You can find sources to justify any POV - there is no need to misrepresent anything. Something doesn't automatically become right just because there's a research paper on it. In fact, that is one of the tricks big companies use to mislead people and scuttle reforms. Look at the history of the tobacco industry, climate change, lead in gasoline, city planning and zoning, etc. There are countless examples.
What you say is true, but the internet bubble was also a paper. So if OP thinks that's right and the papers saying it doesn't exist are wrong, then I'd like to know why.
Simply having a "feeling" is as scientific as "god said so".
