I think her point is that big companies can essentially force startups to exit early under the threat of being driven out of business. You cut out part of the sentence that provides the context for that: "...it’s so easy for the big companies to either snap up growing competitors or drive them out of business..."
- formercoder 8y agoThat’s fair i did remove that context. The latter half is a valid point.
- Hydraulix989 8y agoYes, big companies will copy you and pour their endless resources into outpricing and outhustling you. They will then append new rules to their terms of service, banning your app from their digital stores, pulling your social media accounts on their platforms, etc. They will use their PR ammunition to rewrite history, casting you as a rule breaker.
