My point is that SQL works with and returns data as a flat table, which is ill fitting for most websites, which involve many parent-child object relationships. It requires extra queries to fetch one-to-many relationships and postprocessing of the result set to match the parents to the children.
I'm just sad that in the decades that SQL has been around, there hasn't been anything else to replace it. Most NoSQL databases throw out the good (ACID, transactions, indexes) with the bad.
Want to fetch a page of posts AND their tags in normalized SQL? Either do a left join and repeat all the post values for every tag or do two round-trip queries and manually join them in code.
If you have the tags in a JSON blob on the post object, you just fetch and decide that.
FWIW the cyber truck is a luxury option - if you can choose a cyber truck, you can a bunch of other, more reasonable options. That's not true of cheap food and many other things.
My interpretation is that companies will spend a lot of effort analyzing human behavior, to find underlying motivations and trends, but won't apply that analysis to themselves as a business and ultimately just pursue the line going up no matter the consequences.
I don't think that's true. Bitcoins are fungible, NFTs aren't.
