[@jimreimers4213]

They know the answers. They and their systems were designed with such a hearing as this in mind to be able to talk in circles about. They have apparently thought this out from the very inception of these "giants" how the people would react and how they can defend their (each company's behavior) platforms in the courts. Ie. They know how to use the system against itself. This just doesn't accidently happen. It is carefully thought out and planned from the beginning.

When is ebay facing this committee? I sold a brand new PC part on ebay that I had still in the bubble wrap for two years listed as returns not accepted.

[@MittyNuke1]

Sounds good on paper, has little practicality and effect if actually followed through. The biggest issue I see with the premise of this whole hearing, is they are looking at the specifics of how entrepreneurship worked in the past 50 years, and therefore concede that due to current conditions produced by that chain of events (creation of internet, Web 1.0 phase, Web 2.0 phase), entrepreneurship can’t continue functioning in the same way it has in the past. But this limited view isn’t taking the most fundamental thing about entrepreneurship, the innovation of how things are done, into account. Most new technologies succeeded by attacking tangentially. The thing that replaces google isn’t going to attack google head on and make a better search engine. Just like Henry ford didn’t build a better horse carriage. This is playing out in the crypto/blockchain area right now. Has all the signs, even the fact that people continue to write crypto off as a toy.

[@breauxchristopher7069]

Cryptocurrency prices are notoriously volatile and it might be too early to tell whether the latest dip marks the start of a reversal of the 2021 bull market, or if it's just a correction on the way to new all time highs.The one area of concern is that the move lower has seen crypto assets fall out of its multi week ascending channel, turning the technical outlook from positive to neutral. While the long term growth of digital assets still looks strong, the short term correction has increased panic in the market.

[@MittyNuke1]

The iCloud alert question is a red herring (although the same could be said the same about this whole hearing) - you get an alert to upgrade your iCloud storage when your free 5gb storage is used up, which happens quickly. There is no conspiracy- you can turn off iCloud and use other apps like amazon photos, or the whole google ecosystem.

[@everochelemagne375]

Yah but older folks get frustrated about having to dodge around that alert. We are not used to having to keep going in and around pay pages. It really struck me down when I no longer had Adobe. It is frustrating to have to be herded on to pay pages. I mean, you walk into a place and they keep trying to get you to pay a cover charge to go to the VIP lounge when you just want to get to the free entryway.

On the most important question, the Fortnite question: They watch rather watch streamers than play than play the game themselves for a number of reasons. 1) because the streamers are often better than them and it's nice to watch someone who's actually winning as opposed to losing all the time in a highly competitive game 2) Because streamers are often experienced and can draw on the experiences of a large and critical audience they are a good way to learn about the deeper aspects of the game an individual player won't likely learn on their own through gameplay 3) it requires no emotional investment, focus or energy to watch a competitive game but playing one can be surprisingly draining to the point that I have been lead with other games to question why I do it to relax. 4) Streamers are in the entertainment business and tend to have personalities that are entertaining to listen to, so it's a kind of entertainment where you are entertained by the person entertaining themselves to entertain you.

Consumers are partly responsible for the monopolies. It's a self fulfilling cycle. It's like Walmart or Home Depot in the brick and mortar world. They are known and big and people just go to them.
