    Industries tend to evolve into 2-horse-races or monopolies.

    “Focus” by Al Ries.

    Coca-Cola & Pepsi, as 1 example.

    ( there is MUCH more in that book: IF you’re doing a startup, please read it! then the Lean Startup stuff. )

    Who is Amazon’s competitor?

    Who is Apple’s, or Google’s, or Facebook’s?

    Bill Gates called it “friction-free capitalism”, when unlike streets, you don’t see any competitor & that makes competition, & market-balancing, disappear

    Don’t worry: what Facebook did to MySpace, the Fediverse is going to do to Reddit.

    It is only a matter of earning it, & duration-until-then, now.
