The race to the bottom I'm seeing in e-commerce is just hilarious. Great for consumers. Not so great if you are a delivery driver.

- pessimizer 5y agoAmazon's business model was being first and not having to pay taxes for a decade and a half.
- Shuang1 5y agoAmazon was not the first in e-commerce and they "didn't pay taxes" because they reinvested the money rather than taking it as dividends. Amazon won because of their efficiency and customer service. Even today, FedEx usually takes weeks to deliver while Amazon has same day or two day delivery.
- buran77 5y agoDisruption these days is mostly about playing by a set of rules you invent for yourself to get an edge on the competition and calling it innovation. It's rare that real innovation is used to disrupt. Imagine disrupting any industry where some form of accreditation is required by making an app which allows any person to perform those services. Anyone could be a doctor, lawyer, notary, etc. with no license needed. That's not disruption, that's breaking the law until the company is big enough to bribe (lobby) to change the law to allow that. That's literally Über-style "disruption".
