For real I entered my career when IBM was being hobbled by MSFT.
I was very much of the opinion that MSFT was going to rule the tech world for half a century.
Even when I saw other startups innovate, MSFT would use their market power to make their own “me too” option win.
That’s how they killed WordPerfect, Presentation, and Lotus 1-2-3
Then the web came.
And they were dethroned, even while Europe was prosecuting them for antitrust. That case became a farce before it finished.
Only then did i internalize that it’s a pattern. I can’t predict what comes next and dethrones the current paradigm, but it will happen.

I see Facebook imploding eventually. It’s a social network that has lost its youth audience so the demographics actively using it will literally die off.
But Google and YouTube…hard to imagine what could replace those but I guess it’ll happen eventually. Maybe only when folks stop using the browser for mobile device alternatives.

YouTube is already a drastically different platform. TikTok has been eating it’s lunch in some ways.

It can't, not entirely. They aren't direct competitors.
