The problem is breaking up Amazon or any of the other big tech will just be replaced with another.
The issue is things gravitate to winner take all or at least most. We had tons of ecommcerce companies but now one dominate.
We had tons of search engines and now one dominate.
I believe the issue is the Internet. I was involved in 86 and honestly thought it would be the most democratizing thing ever.
But intuition was wrong and instead it is causing capitalism to break. Instead we are getting crazy concentration with companies and solutions.

- mzzter 9y agoThere isn’t one that I can think of. The Internet is accessed using just a handful of browser clients. That in itself drives most users to start browsing at only a few websites.
