Idk, it could still be wrong or not as useful as thought of. https://www.forbes.com/sites/augustinefou/2021/01/02/when-big-brands-stopped-spending-on-digital-a

  Interesting article. I know the big CPGs have been challenged by digitally native brands like harrys and the shave companies. It's also clearly not true if you're not a globally known brand with a lot of monopolies. I wonder if it holds true in all markets for the big brands. I also wonder if it would open them to more competition from smaller brands over time. Like the other commenter said, hard to name too many non coke/pepsi carbonated beverages.

    I just wanted to comment on the Coke point specifically. They already have achieved market penetration at such a high level that I wonder is it really still worth it for them to keep spending 4B on ads a year. Uber also had a similar experience: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25623858 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25623858
