What do you mean? Cory figured it out like 20 years ago already, he was reporting on tech bro grift from the beginning
He's a funny one though, cause whilst warning about it, he does two really annoying things;
Which ones? I'm not familiar with this side of him
Cory has been that "crazy" guy warning of all sorts of grift, exploitation, privacy fuckery and security forever like a modern-day Kassandra. Now that we start to see the direction the technology sector is headed more clearly, his warnings finally start to ring true.
