Oh god, where do I even start?
To be fair, at least Theranos and Onecoin were outright scams. They were never intended to be the next big thing so much a get even richer quick scheme.
Also, why XML? It's used everywhere.
I had to do a double take there. I read Theranos as Thanos the first time around :)
Virtual assistants weren't as big as expected, but I wouldn't say they flopped.
Also, peertube, foldable smartphones, linux mobile (ubuntu touch might be an exception) are all still in early stages, its a bit early to say they flopped.
