Shameless plug but... called it : https://medium.com/@jsemrau/nobody-will-talk-about-uber-in-5-years-cd372981c85a https://medium.com/@jsemrau/nobody-will-talk-a

  Don't want to be a nitpicker, but that article is from ~5 years ago and here we are talking about Uber. That seems to be the opposite of "called it", no? :)

    You read the title of the article? It literally says that Uber won't be as relevant as it was assumed to be in 2016.
    • WJW 5y ago
      Yes, the joke was that I took the title of the article literally and it says "nobody will be talking about uber". Yet, at least us two are talking about it and so is the rest of this HN page. Therefore, "nobody" cannot be literally true.

        You are not wrong. Uber is still a multi-billion dollar company that provides useful services to many people. I used them last week to order food. In 2016, Uber was dominating the news cycle left and right. And by comparison, it has become quiet around the company.
