What is the Venn diagram of people who thought Clubhouse and Sora were the next big thing, and is it a perfect circle?

I think a big "feature" of the start-up age we've been in since "apps" on our phones became a thing, is people building something because they can, not because they see a practical use for it. Then rich people give them lots of money to help shove it down peoples throats. Obviously, there has been some good to come from it, but overall, we still have this move fast and break things attitude in society where we throw something out there to see what happens without thinking about consequences or downstream effects. This, of course, is partly due to capitalism, but also because people "experience" life a lot less to know how things work in the real world.
Now I'm really starting to sound like a crotchety old man...
