The tech party is overOTTAWA—Grand opening, grand closing. The tech party is over. For 15 years, the FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google) companies drove investment patterns and economic growth with the ostensible invincibility companies with such high valuations attain. However, the music has stopped, the last pot has been washed, and the party is over. Not since the early internet era of Pets.com have we seen such a massive slowdown in the technology establishment. Facebook, or Meta, is laying off 11,000 people in its largest trimming exercise in the company’s history; Twitter has been taken over by a megalomaniac and is swirling around the bowl; Instagram is what Facebook ruined with its choice of marketplace over connections; Snapchat is still irrelevant to most; and Netflix now has ads to drive subscriptions.
