It’s weird to complain about supporting AEG claiming they’re somehow the 2nd “monopoly” after LiveNation. You can only have one “monopoly” in a given industry, otherwise they’re both just close competitors.

Having a close second competitor is still a step in the right direction, even if you disagree with their business practices.

Fine. I used the wrong term. You can't argue anything else I wrote outside of the word "monopoly" though, sooooo...
That’s not true. You can have two or more companies share a market via market splitting and the result is still effectively a monopoly.
That would be a duopoly not a monopoly.
Perhaps. It still sucks for the same reasons.
