Maybe that model doesn't work, but I wish there was some government oversight preventing huge companies from buying out small competitors just to shut them down entirely. Like Apple did with Dark Sky, Microsoft did with Wunderlist, and Twitter did with Vine. It's really unfortunate that we can't have much small tech.
- jakeva 6y agoDark Sky got shut down? It works for me, or do you mean something different?

- zepto 6y agoIt seems like that wouldn’t solve the problem, because it would take away some of the incentive to create small tech in the first place!
