minus-squareDeceptichum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·10 个月前Pretty much everything was a duopoly and as the market was so small they just grew to mutually exist without need to compete. Shit most of them are all owned by the same parent companies now.
minus-squarePrimarily0617@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 个月前My point being that while a duopoly may seem like a worst case scenario, it very much isn’t.
minus-squareDeceptichum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·10 个月前My point is that is isn’t any better or worse when there isn’t competition. You’re still a captive market being charged the highest costs possible.
