I'm not convinced that it's a bigger problem now. In many ways, the ancient world was much stickier. A king could have a bad idea, and it could persist through generations before it falls to better ideas.
- FooBarBizBazz 5y agoAre we talking about the Bronze Age, or about the early '00s? In the '00s, before the FAANG giants had arisen, I would say things were more dynamic than they are now, and there was more room for smaller players. If we're talking about the Bronze Age then this is a different conversation entirely. Then there was more continuity in each place with the past, but more difference between different places.

The desktop-web atrophied a bit, particularly in areas where FAANG expanded, but the web and IT as a whole continues to grow and create opportunities for small players to emerge.
