Can you provide some examples there support this claim of a "winner-takes-it-all economy"?
The "competition" is pretty nominal at this point. The areas of competitive overlap are much smaller than the areas of monopolistic market dominance.
None of these companies are taking it all.
Please give some examples.
(except perhaps Russia)
The EU doesn't disagree with me. Some people involved may be asking questions, but that doesn't mean that the EU disagrees with me.
If the EU disagreed with me we'd know, as they'd be taking action against these companies.
Amazon has 50% of all e-commerce spend in the US.
Netflix put Blockbuster and every other movie rental store out of business. It currently has 50% of all video streaming traffic in the US.
Google has 80% of the search market.
I'm not so sure about what Apple monopolizes, but they do have a duopoly in the app store space with Google.
Wrong way to think about this. If you talk about advertising monopoly, sure. But you'd be hard-pressed to make an argument on a monopoly of free products.
> Netflix put Blockbuster and every other movie rental store out of business.
That's because Blockbuster was, quite frankly, shit. They failed to adapt to the internet. So what? Times move on. Netflix is far far better for consumers.
Something isn't a monopoly just because it's popular.
If you're a state missing out on tax because the options that provide it to you are unpopular it sure is.
This isn't a discussion about consumers.
So 50% == all?
