Currently, it's worth noting that the exit plan of half these startups is to get acquired by one of these monopolies, have their products killed off, and be assigned to do mundane bugfixes for core business competencies.
- Apocryphon 5y agoIsn't that partly because of the same problem of the mass concentration of wealth and power into a few key players? If you have less room to strike it out on your own right, then you're dependent on a bigger fish to snatch you up. Who's to say that if the playing field was more level then more startups would have the ambition to become their own would-be monopolies? Either way, the vast majority of the "computer nerds" in the OP are different from the founder class that would be more directly impacted.
