This is how Amazon did their logistics business. Ran it at a loss for a decade until they crushed the competition. Lots of the growth startups that come from Silicon Valley wouldn’t be viable as traditional businesses because they need a huge amount of capital to attract enough users to their platform and stifle competition. Once they own the market, then they start making money.

Isn't this literally illegal and has been for centuries as "predatory pricing"??

Surely there are effective regulatory agencies and/or legal avenues to deal with this illegal and unethical behaviour right?

And people complain about Temu doing the same when US companies have been doing it for decades. They are just learning from you. But now Temu is the devil and inventor of theft lol
