I like that this phrase can be used to condescendingly dismiss two opposite viewpoints. "Automation and globalization are going to destroy the world." -> "We've been saying that for a hundred years." rolls eyes "This time, it's different." "Current tech companies might actually have a legitimate sustainable business that won't be totally obliterated in an imminent market crash" -> "Remember 1999?" rolls eyes "This time, it's different."

Particularly since the companies listed are actually profitable.
