I think you underappreciate one point here: We can still have long term alternatives to Zoom (and we can have them now). Google and Uber are already difficult

Google and Uber are already difficult to replace or to otherwise challange.
- ForHackernews 7y agoUber is trivially easy to replace with Lyft or $generic-taxi-app.
- minhazm 7y agoLyft only operates in US and Canada. Uber is available in 63 countries. The convenience you get just having that one Uber app work is not easily replaced. But yeah you could always try to find the local ride sharing companies app, but it can be far less convenient.
- ForHackernews 7y agoOnly a tiny minority of wealthy people frequently travel internationally. This is not a major selling point that will save Uber.
- aembleton 7y agoHow do you persuade enough taxi drivers to use $generic-taxi-app in enough areas to make it worthwhile for someone to choose to use it instead of Uber?
