The wild thing about the tech oligarchs is that if they stopped offering their services tomorrow, most of us would be at a loss for maybe a week, then replace them with the dozens of other, smaller alternatives that they keep beating down below the fold.
They're nothing like the robber barons, who could *materially fuck you up* just by like, losing a shipment on their railroad or forgetting to ship you steel or cutting you off from oil.
These people bottle and sell the air like it's gold.
