1: Waltmart is just us, amazon is global (try to think about that the world is bigger then just the us please)

2: Livestreaming - Twitch, with you're arguments google is not a monopoly (there are other search-engines) and no, livestreaming to millions is not something 1000 other apps can do...know why...datacenters

3: Audible probably 90% market-share

4: Ebooks of course they are the biggest seller of ebooks in combination with kindle's

5: Yes there are other's but the only competitor is Azure and google..that's maybe the only point where you are right

1. Walmart operates in many countries, plus their US only revenue might be larger than Amazon's all retail revenue. Plus Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook operate in nearly all countries, a much bigger number than Amazon.

2. Twitch is restricted to a niche. Facebook video, YouTube, and even TikTok all have more users.

3. This might be correct but this is a very small market. Microsoft has similar market share in Office Suits.

4. Biggest seller doesn't make a monopoly. If it did, every industry will bave a monopoly.

5. How is AWS a monopoly there, when so many competitors exist, and the likes of Google have humongous internal data centres which might be on the same scale as all of AWS.

>Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook

Not shopping/ecommerce..oh and i never said that google is not a monopoly

>Twitch is restricted to a niche

Facbook, ~youtube, TikTok ist NOT Livestreaming...also not Zoom or Skype

>Biggest seller doesn't make a monopoly

When you (Amazon) can make the price because everything other is a loss for you (the producer)..yes then it is a monopoly

>How is AWS a monopoly there

Yes i wrote thats maybe the only point you are right

Oh and here a interesting link for your Walmart-theory: https://www.supermarketnews.com/retail-financial/amazon-pred...

TikTok is not primarily livestreaming, but it does have live streams (with live chat overlay on top of video, looking very similar to live streaming interface of Instagram or Periscope)

So apparently TikTok Live is mostly a competitor to those two (and maybe YouNow) but not to widescreen/desktop-oriented streams of Twitch

YouTube Live on the other hand is very much a competitor to Twitch (livestreaming to millions and NOT auto-expiring/deleting past broadcasts by default is something only YouTube can do for now)
