Agreed. I love Amazon prime, and also love Slack. But I fear the day when all of the "good companies" end up being owned by one corporate overlord.

    A large share of media companies owned by a single conglomerate. A large share of food companies owned by a single conglomerate. A large share of retail, cloud hosting, and online messaging owned by a single conglomerate. You're right that there's long been some serious consolidation in sectors, but those two examples seem a little different from Amazon grabbing up large portions of multiple sectors.
