“And of course you might be a surfer and they might come and bite your leg off and then wander off and get bored. And there you are missing a leg, which is of course something that has happened to a bunch of tech, a bunch of industries outside of technology.”

Insight
Evans: Big Tech only enters industries it can convert to zero-marginal-cost software
“They won't do your industry unless they can just kind of turn it into a trivial marginal, no marginal cost piece of software that bolts onto their industry.”
