Last year, before the Economic downturn, people were talking about FAANG like it was a dangerous monopoly.
I think we should let this play out.
No one stays the leader forever, and big companies have their own problems.
Be a smart consumer and stop buying from bad companies. You don't need an Apple product, you don't need to buy from Amazon, you don't need all of your searches to come from Google. And Facebook is almost dead.
- larkeith 7y agoThis could also be seen the other way: Facebook, Google, and Amazon have been increasingly user-hostile, yet impacts are minimal as their monopolistic tendencies enforce user lock-in. Even Facebook, with the most competition and negative publicity is only down 15% from its 52 week high; how many people not in the tech industry use a Google alternative for even search, let alone email or maps?
