    you could say it does compete with The NY Times

    Only indirectly - as in airplanes competing with cars. And the law generally encourages that type of competition as it leads to substantial innovation and economic growth.

      That’s like saying amazon and mom and pop gift shops don’t compete. Like yeah, a lot of people will still prefer the atmosphere and curation of the mom and pop shop but that doesn’t fucking matter when the vast majority of people just use Amazon, driving the shop out of business. This despite the fact that Amazon is more general and only competes indirectly.
