Credulous econospeak that already felt naive and dated when it came out, now seems outright dopey. Reminds me of the Lean Startup in how it's oblivious to the problems of its pat framework. What are the successful platforms that we trust and celebrate today? I can think of a few that aren't outright villains (Etsy, Kickstarter) but for the most part this concept seems like a dud whose time has come and gone.
