Can Any Tech Company Survive the Attack ...

SHIT YOU SHOULD CARE ABOUT
About this episode

Instagram stole Snapchat's stories, Twitter stole Facebook's "likes," TikTok stole Vine's.... everything? Today innovation feels like it's ruled by Big Tech's copy/acquire/kill strategy and we just wanna know... is anyone exempt? Is there such thing as originality anymore? Should we give up on having our own ideas and just wait for someone else to do something we can copy?
