Gamepass and cloud gaming will grow even more

\\n\\n

Chilla thinks streaming peripherals will dominate the tech industry (webcams, mics, etc)

\\n\\n

Podnar thinks non-tesla Electric cars will become more common

\\n\\n

Dudders thinks TikTok will continue to dominate: Compensating creators, more ads now, not just for young folks, algorithm is so good. Someone will get social audio correct (Not Clubhouse, Spaces). Continue to see a decrease in organic reach especially with FB. Everyone wants to make money.
