Ask HN: What are examples of companies that died by the hands of Big Tech?
by pHollda on Hacker News.
It’s commonplace to mock Big Tech for being slow-moving and lacking an innovation ability with several examples of new companies that competed with, and defeated products from Big Tech. There are tons of examples of this (YouTube Vs Google Video as one). What are examples of the reverse? Like Pebble (smartwatches) losing to Apple Watch, Clubhouse (Kindda pending) losing to Twitter Spaces, Slack (??? had to sell to Big Tech) losing to Big Tech ‘Work’. Sure, there are also examples where the indie coys did not exactly die Dropbox/Box Vs Big Tech storage.
