A part of the reason for the existence of these monopolies is that 1/7th of a facebook (in terms of usage) is worth much less than 1/7th of a facebook in terms of revenue and even less in terms of profit and market cap.
Breadth is very valuable to and ad business. Targeting makes it moreso.
- grumple 6y ago1/7 of Facebook would cover the US or EU and would be very valuable.
- pessimizer 6y agoThat's not really 1/7 of facebook, but rather 100% of facebook in the US or Europe. 1/7 of facebook is 1/7 of facebook in the US and/or 1/7 of facebook in Europe. If you had 100% of facebook's business in Des Moines, IA, you would be raking in the cash. Good luck getting it.
- dalbasal 6y agoSure, those are the most valuable pieces. But all together: 7X(1/7) < 1. This is the split (most valuable markets kept whole) that would be least detrimental to value, but also least beneficial in monopoly busting terms.
- 3np 6y agoI'd argue that 7X(1/7) > 1. Many (most?) users will be participating in more than one of these concurrently.
