Who will beat Amazon?

the thing is that almost every data they collect is false or fake

The big tech companies amazon, google and fb are now so big it is impossible to go up against them directly. They are bigger than most of the countries they operate it!

The only thing that will "beat" them will be usa legislation.

For amazon it will be ani-trust, for google and facebook it will be re-classifying them as publishers.

Everyone has a number.

There are other ways to acquire a business without doing a deal.

Amazon no doubts has a war chest set up for either running you out of business, buying up shares and then ownership, devalue your company... there are 100s of ways they could acquire or ruin you directly or indirectly.

As I said they are too big to take on directly. You have to be in another space totally to have a matching bank balance to go in head to head. They are too big now (for this moment in time) to fail / lose.

The downfall for Amazon, Google and other companies out there is going to be innovation and Id be surprised if this happens in my life time - although with Google it seems to happen every 6 months or so, just look at how many products or services they have tried to launch without any kind of real understand or investment and then have them tank.

THATS going to be the bigger threat to any of them.

While there are slow movements in anti-privacy and need to push some of these companies to reform the main stream public does not care, want to know or even understand what rights they are giving up until there is a global "wake up" that is no threat either.

It's only a political / government threat at the moment because the gov wants accesss to that information, as soon as they are granted it privacy rights will go quiet for a while again..

All of you seem to forget that Amazon's biggest money maker isn't delivering but AWS. This is where the real money comes from and they are light years ahead of competition.
Now as it's been said before, a shift in technology usually does change things but I can only assume whatever technology would be created they would simply rent it as well.

The choice stopped at me on 1 option

When you think about Nokia, Black Berry or Polaroid it was hard back in time to think they would disappear (or not perform to the same standards).|

Things tend to change for sure regardless how hard it is to imagine it, we may witness Amazon disappear or not.

But doesn't Amazon have many business models?

They do and that's one of its advantages.

My view is more about how arbitrary and unpredictable it is, back in time nobody could think something called Xiaomi would do better (or even exists) in the phone industry than Nokia or on a smaller level, nobody could imagine a bigger plane being built than a B-747.

Amazon is gold now but humans have made lots of changes and drastic moves along history, who knows maybe in the future we don't even want or need physical items and it is all about NFT and new virtual assets and something like Coinbase and Minecraft are the new Amazon.

You guys think way too small, it's really not that difficult to start competing with any of the big tech companies. So many of them leave money on the table by not allowing things that they have a personal issue with. They also love to locate themselves in high cost of living areas and places with high taxes.

Choosing to locate a business in San Francisco, California rather than somewhere like Dallas, Texas is basically burning millions of dollars that could be spent on growing the business through advertisement.
