With all my respect to startups, I strongly believe that consumers should come first. If a large company can provide a cheaper/better service, then that should be encouraged.

As I see it, almost by definition, startups create their moment in the sun by finding blind-spots in the market. Fair play to the big companies who rise to the occasion and address these user needs once they've been pointed out.

We should not allow an economy where all of the gains from disruptive innovation are effectively subsumed under a few companies that take all the profit with no incentive to innovate on their own. We're already seeing the tech giants eat up every startup they can.
