#MegaBrands
Bad analogy time - it's like beer.

There are the huge megabrands that have most of the mass market, with the rest of the craft products fighting for a slice of the pie.

Consumer megabrands beware: the upstarts are coming
e.l.f.’s swoop for rhode will enable it to tap into the brand’s loyal following among Generation Alpha

It's really no wonder people hate the Second Life community especially when you have so many people with the mentality of a highschooler and megabrands doing everything they can to shit on the little guys.

The thing about Spider-noir is while I had some issues with it, in concept it was also the ideal of what we should be doing with megabrands like Marvel: taking them and using that name to do more unique off the wall stuff.

even if the big ten and fox gets an ideal "all the megabrands rock" season, oregon and usc can't host games that kick at 9 a.m. local, so games will gonna be passed around in ann arbor, columbus, state college, maybe a few central time zone places. will never get going all-in on noon.

The constant, unending dichotomy of:
I can only inspect items in person in a local store

Every store near me only carries garbage megabrands of practically anything imaginable

How come if I'm the kind of guy with an MBA who loves science, makes pretty good booze, and gets excited about watching How Megabrands Made the World... and yet I walked away from any attempt at being in business? A:: Access to Capital and Social Legitimacy. It's a simple fact of life.

We have the same up here with Purity. I'm constantly amazed at how many pubs and supermarkets you can supply from a small factory. Same for things like jam, crisps, anything - except when it's the megabrands.

People talk about the enshitification of tech to describe things we depend on becoming subscriptions, or intuitive software menus becoming scrambled for scrambling's sake, but household megabrands have been crossing favorite foods and cleaning products for years.

Thank you so much! We, personally, will be keeping our eyes on antitrust (competition) laws in the coming year, and what interesting ways regulations might mysteriously pop up that limit creation of new apps like TikTok that aren't under certain megabrands already running the market. 🙃

Get toxic chemicals out of period products!
It’s scandalous – MILLIONS of people who rely on period products risk exposure to nasty glyphosate, linked to cancer, dementia, and other life-threatening illnesses. Megabrands have been allowed to se

Discless seems to be the future for the industry, but is that better for consumers? We argue that it takes power away from them and gives the megabrands even more control.

Remember when we would share the games, CDs, DVDs etc that we owned? Now, we tend to have lots of content at our fingertips, but we don't own it, so we can't share it. This is one of the many ways digital distribution takes power away from consumers.

Lex: Consumer megabrands beware: the upstarts are coming—Insurgent brands — fast-growing upstarts with at least $25mn in annual revenue — accounted for a disproportionate share of the growth in consumer goods last year… www.ft.com/content/9f3e... Pan Yuk @financialtimes.com

Sales of no-alcohol beers surged by 33%, while megabrands like Corona and Budweiser saw a combined revenue increase of 5.6%.

Ok

I would rather confront the problems that exist now rather than quibble uselessly about alternative histories that have different megabrands because none of what you're proposing would weaken the interests of capital responsible for building the oligopolies we're forced to buy from
