Imagine how crazy that would have sounded not even that many years hence. In the near future, central banks and hedge funds will me reliant on a social media app where people share pictures of food and cats. Nobody would have believed it.

Hey, it's a bit dickish to point out, I know, but this is the second time. 'hence' looks forward in time. Replace with 'ago'.

It does sound a bit crazy, yet it feeds into the (conspiracy) theory that big finance knows or perhaps now thinks it knows exactly how to keep the masses entertained and docile - with catpics and 'foody-ism'.

Yeah but language is not a mathematical formula, even if school teachers want it to be. Also english is not technically my first language (even if I probably know it better than my own at this point), so I have that excuse, so nyah.

And the masses will absolutely revolt at some point, just a matter of what the spark will be.
