Right with you buddy, I’m so sick of half-thought-out analogies that implicitly equate two things that are not the same.

I remember the 90s, and I can warmly assure younger readers that no, there was nothing even approaching this kind of backlash from luddites. At worst there were a few people who quite correctly called out the dotcom bubble.
