Rising Interest Rates Might Herald the End of the Open Internet

Web 2.0 took off with help from the economic conditions of the 2000s. Recent moves from Reddit and Twitter signal that that era is coming to an end.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that the same economic changes are also (partially) behind the changing ways companies like Red Hat, Elastic, and MongoDB approach open source projects. It’s not the whole story, but I suspect it plays a significant part.

    If that’s the case, then this is bigger than just “oh no twitter and reddit”.

      I’m late to this party, but I’m now curious. What happened to elastic and mongodb?

      And what are the underlying economic conditions promoting that change?

      Thanks regardless.
