There's this idea that the Amazon Methodology is somehow inherently superior and that's what beat out competitors. That's not what is happening here. It isn't what happened with Casper. It isn't a coincidence that this occurs after their largest toy competitor stopped operation.Permalink On twitter.com

These companies use various funds and capital to undercut existing providers who are doing Old Way of X. It isn't that their methodology is superior, it's just very easy to outmaneuver Toys R Us when you can undercut their prices to the point of serious loss per unit sold.Permalink On twitter.com

If humanity lasts long enough for Millennial's kids to reach adulthood, they'll get the opportunity to see prices go above the baseline, as monopoly power and the final extinguishment of competitors allows Big Tech to set the prices as high as the marketplace can stand.Permalink On twitter.com

Inevitably we'll all be buying from one company, whose prices are set so high we have to get credit from the same company, so we pay one company twice to buy things for too high a price.Permalink On twitter.com
