I was pondering on this recently. So many "tech" companies these days are about taking away the livelihood of the little people. What used to cost $5 may be $4 now, great, except the profit that used to flow to hundreds of thousands of little people now flows to Andreessen and his handful of goons. In worse cases, what used to cost $5 is still $5, or maybe even $5.5, only with some added convenience, but the little people have to each pay Andreessen and goons a 20% protection fee to stay in the market. This is not a healthy state of affairs.
