It's interesting how the industry is shaking up in so many different ways lately.
1. TikTok and WeChat getting banned (This will also have a huge side effect for Apple)
2. Uber and Lyft regulated to classify drivers as employees
3. Influential companies trying to tear down the Apple payment walled garden (Last time it was Hey, but this time it's Fortnite, which is infinitely more formidable). Now the only thing left is for Google to come out and say "we're going to charge zero commission for our in-app payments", and the wall will be down pretty soon.
I feel like there's some pattern here that may change the overall game of the tech industry. Grabbing some popcorn and waiting for new opportunities to open up!
