SimplyKnorax@sh.itjust.workstoTechnology@lemmy.ml•What are your thoughts/forecasts? Do you think 'Big Tech' companies (such as Amazon, Google etc.) will ultimately implode as they continue to wield more and more control & power over their customers?

1 year agoHard to say, really. It would take a huge blunder from them to completely erase one of these companies from the map. Since they are so diversified in the services they provide, if one of their product dies they’ll simply pursuit other business opportunities while relying on the other ones that are still doing great.
We can also go full pessimistic and think people will just stay chained to the websites and services of these companies. But if other great alternatives come up, people will jump to the next big thing.
And if you want to travel cheaper, youth hostels are very affordable. Though you are not garanteed to have a private room, it’s perfectly ok if you just want a place to sleep imho
