YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

    I know about dividends but decided to keep the comment simple. Aren’t dividends relevant only in utility and holding companies?

      Kind of, because those sectors are widely known to not be growth-oriented. There is only so much demand for electricity for example.

      At one point that was probably a growth sector, but now it is ubiquitous. Perhaps someday some tech stocks could be focused on dividends rather than infinite growth.
