I'm not really following the message the author was going for here...
Technology is bad because companies no longer have to hire as many people as they used to, to shuffle around papers and crunch numbers on slide rules?
"Technology kills jobs" would more aptly be rephrased as "technology kills jobs that idiots are qualified for".
If your skills and abilities are so disposable that a robot or computer can perform them, then it's time to learn some new ones that actually makes you useful to the world.
Being a blacksmith was perfectly respectable and brought a lot of utility into the world, once upon a time... Not the case any more. Too bad so sad.
This all seems very one-sided and Luddite, to me. Yes; the Internet has made
some business models and industries obsolete, but it has also opened up a historically unparallelled avenue of possibilities for entrepreneurs. I happen to have several friends that own or work at successful internet startups. How easily would people like Roosh have been able to publish and profit from their work in the pre-Internet era?
I don't get the author's monomaniacal suggestion that there is something profound in his comparison of Instagram to Kodak. If anything, I think the reverse of what he was trying to imply there is true; in the past, how many companies were there that were major players in photography? How many major competitors did Kodak have in bygone decades? Not many, because the barrier to entry was huge. It took a lot of capital to just start up a camera company out of the blue.
On the other hand, how many sites similar to instagram are there? Tons.

There's 50 right there... Even if they all collectively count as a small percentage of the market share, every one of those companies makes at least enough money to be antonymous and profitable. What does that tell you?
If anything, I think that the internet has had the effect of spreading wealth from a small number of companies with larger numbers of employees to a larger number of companies with fewer employees, when you exclude a couple of weird outliers like instragram... This is an immensely positive step for innovation and competitiveness.
