@carnage4life@mas.to the first bubble was both a user (modems, anyone?) and logistics problem.

@codinghorror@infosec.exchange @carnage4life@mas.to does are three examples where demand was the issue, but there was a LOT of companies that just didn‘t make any sense.
In Germany (where I live) there was a dotcom that paid you to send used earth from your flower pots to them (like 300g).
Raised at multi-million dollar valuations.
They didn‘t even know how to store the product shipped to them.
Just „bla bla bla at scale.“

@Daanlo@mastodon.social @carnage4life@mas.to it was definitely both sides. The logistics was hugely important though, and not there. It is now in a BIG way. Just the whole lyft/uber mobilizing "regular folks" for delivery thing alone is MASSIVE. Not talking about that is really not telling the complete story.
