>When companies have more resources than whole countries This is the part that scares me. Not the amount of resources, but the shitty quality that still comes out of those processes. I suppose scaling up organisations is even harder than scaling up infrastructure. This example is actually great, because Whatsapp won the market anyway, with a small team against "more resources than whole countries". Facebook ended up buying it. Remember how Google lost to youtube and had to buy it too? To me it seems large organisations use anti competitive behavior to be able to compete against smaller entities, because when it comes to quality large organisations just can't compete against smaller ones. Or why large chain restaurants generally don't win michelin stars. And even the successful stuff by large companies tend to be small teams. Think Google Maps or Gmail, which were created by small independent teams. If the whole company could mess with those products they would have likely failed.
