Wow.

Wow indeed. Nothing new under the sun, but right now the tech sector seem to be particularly vulnerable to the power of the big guys.

Warren Buffet would advise people to invest in moats.

Not really that surprising.
It's why we've had so many acquihires over the years as well as companies like Facebook spending so much to acquire potential competitors like Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus etc.

IMO, the optimal self-serving but long-term-benevolent tech pioneer should go the Bill Gates route -- after a significant disruption, invest in moats during a medium length career(20-30 years), and then divest from the industry and pursue philanthropy. Microsoft's moats have been opened up and now allow many other players to disrupt in their former core industries, and Bill doesn't care anymore
Today's tech are the dark ages of tech moats, because it's also the golden age of internet and technology innovation -- but anyone building anything promising gets gobbled up by the same 4-5 FAANG+ giants. I worry that these tech moats will not go away even when their founders transition with billions of dollars in the bank, leaving the next generation of creators to have to expend half their energy filling these moats before they can disrupt anything.

#10Interesting summary about valuation caps for companies coming out of YC: usually $6-12M, but with some hot companies (the top third-ish) getting caps well above that.
