Given that Amazon is known for knocking off physical brands belonging to its 'retail partners' in its online store and then undercutting and outranking the originals [1], why would they not do the same with software hosted on AWS?

The incentives are misaligned with SPACs. If I gave you $1 billion and said: 1. buy a company within 2 years and keep 20% of the equity of that company for yourself. You do not need to hold that equity for the long term. You can sell that 2

Well said. 2021 was the perfect year for VCs to unload their trash on the retail investor.

Say I own 1 share of Amazon worth $10 and Amazon earns $1 on that share. Bezos has 2 options. He can pay me $1 as a dividend or he can reinvest that $1 into his business and make my share worth $11. His choice does not matter in the absence

Yes that is called the risk free rate because you assume your government with its magic money printer will always pay you back.

Madoff was different in that he successfully hid the fact that his was a ponzi scheme for 40 years. This interview with SBF suggests crypto does not even try and hide it.

Market value and revenue/profit are not the same thing but they are very related. Netflix's market value falling 72% means the market has a negative view of Netflix's foreseeable ability to sustain or grow revenues and profit
