Silicon Valley once epicenter of disrupting status quo become status quo itself
- anm89 6y agoI mean, you aren't doing a very good job of disrupting if you are still disrupting the same status quo as when you started 50 years on. I think this is a pretty inevitable outcome. You either die or live long enough to disrupt the status quo out of existence and become the villain. I'm not really defending FAANG here. I pretty much despise every single one of those companies, maybe somewhat except Amazon. Just saying this progression makes sense to me.
- segmondy 6y agoKinda curious why you despise the other ones except Amazon? I understand why folks can despise all but Netflix.
- anm89 6y agoYeah actually, I have no major issue with Netflix either. I think amazon makes a vast majority fair and square. They were super innovative on the AWS side and earned that market share and I think they also just outcompeted on merit on the physical goods marketplace side. I've always hated Apple but that's just a total opinion, not really based on anything specific but I respect that at least they sell products people want(ed). The other's deserve the hate they get full stop IMO. But to be sure this is all just my subjective opinion.
