The tech industry in US has so much money that is just burned on shitty products, so I am not a bit surprised if you start too many projects and also buy your way into the market you get on top. There are examples where big US companies bought competitors so it is clear that money is keeping this giants on top.

- simion314 5y agoI could try to explain the history but I am not an expert in it, I would for sure hurt some feelings and obtain nothing from it. Sorry I won't reveal the actual reason and just tell you a reason that is not it. My point is that you can't blame GDPR or some "regulation" for the reason an european FB did not popped and rapidly increased 10 years ago. This is a lame excused used by anti-regulation dudes.
