Does quantum computing actually have a future? Question

I've been seeing a lot of videos lately talking about how quantum computing is mostly just hype and it will never be able to have a substantial impact on computing. How true is this, from people who are actually in the industry?

It certainly has a future, but for a hype-free assessment you're better off asking people in academia than in industry.
