## Quote — verbatim

> Platforms is a winner-take-all market, and there is no place for the second person — it doesn't work that way. When you enter a market you want to absolutely dominate, and you want to do it because you want your values, that align with industry, to take precedence over people with greed.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Pushing back on the host's Apple-vs-Google framing; market dominance as a values vehicle, with high margins acceptable if aligned with core values.
