Edit: Hey Jeff please stop down-voting me, you know it's the truth ;)
> In what sector is Amazon a monopoly. Retail? Walmart is much larger and Amazon's share of the market is too small to be a monopoly. Ecommerce? Even in ecommerce, Amazon's share is <50%.
So let's summarize: Amazon isn't a monopoly in "shopping" in any sense; there are other companies that run datacenters; since when does Amazon do live streaming? (and even if it does there are a million other apps/websites more people use for that); they don't have a monopoly in audiobooks; and they CERTAINLY don't have a monopoly in ebooks.
Just because they're a big noticeable name doesn't make them a monopoly. I'd downvote you if you could, and my name isn't Jeff.
2: Livestreaming - Twitch, with you're arguments google is not a monopoly (there are other search-engines) and no, livestreaming to millions is not something 1000 other apps can do...know why...datacenters
3: Audible probably 90% market-share
4: Ebooks of course they are the biggest seller of ebooks in combination with kindle's
5: Yes there are other's but the only competitor is Azure and google..that's maybe the only point where you are right
2. Twitch is restricted to a niche. Facebook video, YouTube, and even TikTok all have more users.
3. This might be correct but this is a very small market. Microsoft has similar market share in Office Suits.
4. Biggest seller doesn't make a monopoly. If it did, every industry will bave a monopoly.
5. How is AWS a monopoly there, when so many competitors exist, and the likes of Google have humongous internal data centres which might be on the same scale as all of AWS.
Not shopping/ecommerce..oh and i never said that google is not a monopoly
>Twitch is restricted to a niche
Facbook, ~youtube, TikTok ist NOT Livestreaming...also not Zoom or Skype
>Biggest seller doesn't make a monopoly
When you (Amazon) can make the price because everything other is a loss for you (the producer)..yes then it is a monopoly
>How is AWS a monopoly there
Yes i wrote thats maybe the only point you are right
