#5The article vastly underestimates the desire of large enterprises to deal with only a handful of IT vendors. Sure, no enterprise wants monopoly pricing, but they also don’t want dozens upon dozens of different IT vendors to deal with.

Dozens of IT vendors sounds like a security risk.

Yeah I’m confused. What is this substack and how did it become so prevalent so fast? Or maybe there are more substack posts on HN these days?

You want to tackle monopoly power? Find a way to make purchasing accept other vendors.

#9> it gave away its new product for no or low cost to existing clients, and bundled it with existing product lines. In a society with functional antitrust laws, such activity would be illegal. But alas.
I find this statement highly suspect. What kind of world do we want to live in where regulators delineate product areas.
I see Microsoft integrating Teams into their productivity product bundle as feature; not a bug. Otherwise, we run the risk of creating separate product areas and none of them working well together — it’a going to be a minor pain in the butt to email with the pdf tchalla@ shared on Slack; deal with formatted paste/copy & whatever else issues.
I mean, products being integrated is the whole MO of companies like Apple, Tesla and literally every other company making physical things. Sure, you can sacrifice the integration for other features like breadth of choice, specialized user needs etc, but proposing regulations to keep them distinct and separate?! That modesty sound right, imho

From the Google summary:
> Substack makes it simple for a writer to start an email newsletter that makes money from subscriptions.
Like medium, it's a way for writers to get paid. There seems to be popular tech and business writing there. HN's own patio11 is a fan.
