Reddit is what would have happened to Twitter had it not been bought by Elon the Likud agent. Elon didn't "fix" it by turning it into X but he at least extended its lifespan by not allowing it to turn into a degenerate commie morass like Reddit. What I think this shows is that any industry based in Silicon Valley is fundamentally unsound -- every company there has gone to shit. And X is still there, but critically, Elon himself moved out of CA to get away from that malign influence and he isn't subject to the same level of control. Thiel also realized you can't stay in SV and still have viable companies, and moved to LA.

Gab is in Pennsylvania, Rumble is in Florida, Odysee is in New Hampshire, NOSTR was invented by a Brazilian, etc. Clearly the innovation has moved away from Silicon Valley. This happened before BTW -- Route 128 in Boston was Big Tech before Silicon Valley. But there's not one main hub anymore for innovation.

More on urbanists later.
