@aven @icedquinn @newt Which is why the giants start campaigning for the government to increase the costs of starting up a new business that could potentially compete, locking those potential competitors out of that option. Once regulations get complex enough, the existing players can afford shelling out 1 or 2% of their earnings on nonsense, whereas the startup can't afford to spend 20x their budget to hire a lawyer just to sort out the incomprehensible nonsense only the corp who wrote it will understand. It's a multifaceted issue.
