Netflix easily has the biggest potential to be the first one to fail

Its the only one with legit competition

Netflix or Apple have highest potential for failure due to a lack of innovation


******** seemingly might but there are so many subsidiaries that ******** owns. (nearly every phone app, marketing, or communication company)


Google and Microsoft No real competitors and may join in to one

Amazon's only competitor is Alibaba and other chinese shtt

******** or Google.

Almost all of Google's revenue still comes from ads. Their cloud services are not popular.

I hope they all fail, greatest stain on humanity. They were great at the beginning but they all morphed into something evil.

If there was a great "reset" to get rid of these companies i would be all for it.

Meta is going to be a giant data grab and advertising scam. The virtual world will guide you to brands who pay the most and build profiles on all the users

Basically a fancy version of what tech companies do now


Cuckflix is the most vulnerable by far though. It's basically like a red alt compared to the others on the list

Netflix will probably be done within another 5-10 years.

They're already raising their prices for their subscriptions and offering nothing in return for that increase in price.

Much of what made them good (Friends, The Office, etc) all went to another platform, so not much reason to keep Netflix after all of that.

Plus, Cuties didn't help them at all.

The streamers are starting to share content again. Marvel stuff appeared on Netflix again, yadda yadda.

The exclusivity thing was short lived. It's pointless anyhow. As it stands now Netflix, Prime, etc are just newer media outlets like ABC - they own a channel, create their own content but also share theirs and purchase content rights from other outlets.

But now no more fuking commercials and no editing. So I'm okay with it.

Google is going the way of Yahoo when it comes to their presence on the internet, but they have so many other investments in various services that even if everyone stops using their site they should be fine. Amazon is a colossal giant that isn't going anywhere, same with Microsoft. Apple seems like they could be peaking, but then again they always seem to be smart about maintaining success.

Netflix and ******** seem like they could be going down though, I mean Netflix is always going to be around but their dominance is under threat as so many other big streaming services have taken off. ******** is still a social media giant but their website is rapidly losing popularity and relevance as their userbase has continued to age with younger demographics abandoning it in mass or simply never showing any interest in it. They are basically staking their future success off of their metaverse thing.

Some of the smaller big tech brands are the ones I can see going down sooner, such as Sony Playsation for example.

i dont think they're going anywhere. they're the equivalent of the old tycoons from the industrial revolution that are the reason for monopoly laws existing.

they are equivalent to steel, oil, banking where they're such lynchpins to society they leak over into everything

don't think you guys understand how much they are apart of the infrastructure to the internet.

so basically by using the internet you're using their services



******** underwater cables for africa



they were basically lucky to start a revolution and get in the ground floor. when they were new there was nothing against it, but as time has gone on some people are aware of their essential monopoly and hopefully its curtailed

I think more and more people are getting over the wokeness that Netflix is dribbling at the moment.

Hopefully they're first to kick the bucket.

******** or netflix

******** itself is bound to die eventually (See myspace) mostly boomers on it and third world populations, way more popular/trendy things, it is still the best for group orginizations though

netflix loads of competition

either company could just branch into a million subsidy companies with deep pockets and never die though. but i think these two products are most likely to dry up first out of your list

you realize the majority of ********s profits doesn’t come from the social media site

that’s like saying Google will die cause it’s just a search engine

Good question. All will remain alive for atleast a decade It will be Meta or Netflix.

Meta will be destroyed by a new gen social network. Once the new competitor achieves network effect success. They are reliant on FB Ad revenue despite having half a dozen other products that cant and wont be monetized

Netflix has no competitive edge anymore, streaming companies are just internet tv channels now

Most of their revenue is Ad-based from ********. Whatsapp and Instagram are not properly monetized. The rest of their products are dead end corporate start ups

Meta was just born as a shell company to protect them from the FB PR disasters of the last few years

Second life was Nintendo 64 level graphics and animations.

There's already metaverse crypto projects using blocky dogchit graphics selling land for more than your real life land is worth.

But now imagine in a few years where that game is not blocky dogchit graphics but completely lifelike.

And you think people won't flock to that when Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft tell them to? Remember that everything in your news feed, the media, YouTube, is handed to you by their algorithms. All they have to do is convince you that it's the best thing since sliced bread and everybody is making a fortune in it and loving their new virtual life. Like they did with COVID, NFTs, crypto in the past 2 years.

We are essentially all predictable addicted slaves and once the tech catches up the majority of humanity will live in the metaverse. Think of it as the next step of the internet.

Not even 20 years, the rate at which it's growing and the money they made in the past 2 years we might even see it in 5-10 years.

This isn't the thing that makes them money. This was an expense. Advertising makes them money. If someone else comes up with a better ad model then that money will move away from Google. Simple as that.
