I mean, that’s what late-stage capitalism is all about. It has been predicted in a million writings. Any competition won’t survive for long though. Eventually, it will either get gobbled up and merged into the monopoly/duopoly or it will get “regulated” out of existence by those forces hands in the government.

If you start a competitor that starts to gain some legitimate traction, Meta will offer you more than your company is worth to sell out.

You’d be insane to not accept the offer and retire to only fun projects for the rest of your life.

Because if you refuse the offer, they’ll put an army of software developers 10x larger than your whole company on their team replicate your product to kill you before you can hope to reach escape velocity.

If you had investors, or a spouse, they will kill you for not having made the right choice.
