This interview is 2 months old, but I haven't seen it discussed so far and given the news about reddit's new cryptobeaniebabies, here it goes. This is a critique of the tech hype cycle, LLMs, VR, the metaverse failure, NFTs and cryptocurrencies with a refreshing historical awareness of past attempts that failed, like second life and VR games. Adam Conover's interviewee is Dan Olson https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7v5qq/meet-the-guy-who-went-viral-on-youtube-for-explaining-how-nfts-crypto-are-a-poverty-trap

All his videos are great. I would recommend watching them in order from "Cooking food on the internet for fun and profit" to the newest ones (can skip the one about Christmas movies, that one is not that good).
