1. Facebook beat MySpace. 2. Google beat Yahoo. 3. Apple beat Blackberry. 4. Netflix beat Blockbuster. 5. Uber beat Lyft (for now). 6. Amazon beat Borders. 7. Instagram beat Flickr. 8. Microsoft beat Netscape. 9. Airbnb beat hotels. 10. Spotify beat Pandora. If something already exists, doesn’t mean that it won’t work out.

Interesting that most of these "victories" happened pre-2015. Modern markets are different - look at TikTok vs Instagram Reels. Both are thriving in different niches. Maybe the era of total market dominance is ending?

It starts, as many great things do, with code—written in the quiet forge of teenage obsession. In his South Park Commons conversation, Adam D’Angelo maps a journey from teenage tinkerer to Facebook’s early architect, Quora’s founder, and OpenAI boar
