Nobody is forcing anybody in the strict sense, yes. If you ignore the network effect, even more so. How can I connect with friends without Facebook when everyone else is on there (there or on instagram and whatsapp, also FB property). How can I not use Uber in the future if they root out and kill off taxis, and even public transportation is left wanting when everyone is just happy to use Uber? And just because everyone's happy to use it (it's cheaper even) doesn't mean it's good in the long run, which is my point.
- vasilipupkin 11y agook, but we don't really know for sure what is good in the long run. That would require perfect foresight about the long run. If it is cheaper and more convenient and people like it, then great ! in order to mitigate your concerns, society needs to remove barriers to competition not add more barriers
