Stop Swallowing the Corporate Fan Fiction

The "industry killer" narrative is nothing more than low-IQ clickbait for people who don't understand how markets actually work. Every time a tech giant fumbles through a feature launch, the tech press starts writing obituaries for the challengers. They conveniently ignore the fact that those "dead" companies are still pulling in hundreds of millions of queries and holding onto multi-billion dollar valuations. This isn't a zero-sum gladiator pit. The market is expanding and users aren't monogamous with their software. Incumbents are usually just playing a desperate game of catch-up while the challengers keep shipping better products. If you’re still buying into the drama that every new update is a death blow, you’re not "informed." You’re just a sucker for a cheap headline.
