Not about the book, but I liked this quote a lot.
RSS is dead, he repeats endlessly throughout the book.
It's profoundly weird to read RSS's obituary as a person who checks her very-much-still-alive feed reader several times a day to get everything from cryptocurrency news to dinner ideas, and who rarely encounters a website that doesn't provide a functional feed.
It's "dead" to tech VCs who don't see any way to make money from it. You can basically understand all VC analysis through this lens. If it can make them rich, it's innovative and good. If not, it's dead.
(Which is also why they consider bitcoin dead, they would rather premine "web3" shitcoins to dump on retail.)
