the reason for all these tech scams of the last 15 years is that there are no more real industries for the us economy to expand into. the economy of the 50s-60s wont come back because the conditions that created it dont exist and wont exist again.  the reason prices constantly go up and every company wants to charge you a monthly fee and every product gets shittier is that these companies need to increase shareholder value, but they have no markets to expand into to do that.  unless the us adopts a more sustainably managed command economy, all the fake tech value and rent-seeking is going to collapse and so will the economy.
