But that's the point. There are no resources to fund those "nice projects" that don't fall into resource extraction, military industrial complex, or advertising. There is absolutely a need for geo in other applications. Nonprofits, micromobility, real estate, and news organizations are big ones that come to mind. But funding, and the experts required to create those applications, not so much. The air has been sucked out of the room.
