Am I very dense or is this a reference to the tech bubble?

The bubble is obv there, but that doesn't mean it has to go bust. We still have time
I feel like I've missed some vital perspective... why is there obviously a bubble? (I'm assuming "obv" means "obviously" in your comment)
I guess that's the reference but it doesn't make any sense.

You might argue that it's wrong but I think the sense of it is obvious.
Congratulations you got the reference. Gold stars for everyone!

I assumed people would be drawing this conclusion when I saw the top 3 threads right now. How do we know that is the case and not just statistical anomaly, though?
That was just a joke, for now.
The idea that we're in a bubble on the cusp of collapse has been building over the past year, spiking when the feds raised interest rates, but there's no concrete evidence of a bubble popping. Yet.
Get worried when we see (multiple) high-level execs also resigning from Facebook/Twitter/etc. Especially if it's of their own accord...
Multiple high-level execs left Twitter about two weeks ago - four at once.
