I think it's a bubble in terms of the people, many big egos. In these times you should how to not have an no ego at all, if you don't have an ego, no one can leverage that to make you do things.

The actual founder-founders, the inventors of the ideas however, are totally aware of that situation and let the startup people with the big egos do the CEO jobs while pulling the strings in the background.

It's not a bubble in terms of the actual startups, because it's all based on users that actually use the apps a lot. The more usage an app has, the harder it is to kill.

After the whole solomo, photo sharing hype, investors have become very cautious, so I don't actually believe money is cheap now.

However, it's an ego bubble right now, startups get press before being ready, pursue vanity metrics that actually will kill the company, their own startups are growing over their heads.

So it's maybe a people/ego bubble right now, which could turn into a full bubble, but time will show.
