@burnoutqueen You are correct!
-
@evan oligopolies are not fundamentally different from monopolies
-
@burnoutqueen That's why governments have intervened in markets for the last century and a half: to prevent anti-competitive behaviour and discourage monopolies.
-
But that's beside the point. I don't think that monopolies are compatible with an open web, and those of us who believe in the open web should carefully consider whether our work encourages or discourages anti-competitive practices.
-
I also think it's catastrophically bad to think that only computer manufacturers, mobile phone makers, domain registrars, hosting providers, and terrestrial and mobile ISPs should be allowed to get paid for providing Internet services. Many people who spend hundreds or thousands of dollars a year to get access to the Web are reluctant to chip in $20 for their Mastodon server.

@evan I answered no because I believe that markets themselves concentrate capital into the hands of monopolies and systematically eliminate the very characteristics that define an open society.
-
I'm honestly surprised to see so many "No" answers to this question. From the anti-commercial replies, I think at least some of the No's come from a concentration on the word "markets" rather on the word "competitive". I think the economic definition of a "market" encompasses non-commercial services and products. But maybe I should have found some wording that doesn't make people hit the "I HATE COMPANIES" button so hard.
