CHAPTER

Consolidation Concerns in Tech Industry

This chapter explores the trend of consolidation in both physical and online industries, focusing on the challenges faced by smaller businesses due to major corporate acquisitions. It contrasts the nostalgic diversity of the 1990s internet with today's landscape dominated by larger companies and discusses the implications of notable acquisitions like Stack Overflow and Moz. Although there are worries about user experience and market competition, the chapter remains cautiously optimistic about opportunities for emerging entrepreneurs amid these consolidations.
