You ever thought hpw cool world would be withour corporations? No? Let me walk you through my ideas over this stuff then.
We're gonna see both pros and cons of corporations and monopolies/olegopolies - their final form from the very ground and see what happened to us.
How to become trillionare 101
Simple corps (enterpreneurs)
What's a corporation? According to general logic - some people that are working on one thing, e.g. making your favourite email service.
Theese fellas are not that big and fairly make some spare change to survive and not shine, what a cuties 😻 They're good guys in this whole story 'cause (generally) they are not trying to fuck you up by raising prices a lot and so on.
It ain't much, but it's honest work

What happens when theese guys reach certain level of profitability? They're expanding! Looks good at the moment - create new product, get new customers, get more cash flow, make mote profit, repeat.
Expanding corps (rise of LLC)
What happens when this expendance rises to big-boi level? We're setting up an LLC, not only in the law terms (that can be done at step 1), but in the mindset: "metrics, metrics will get us to success!".
At this stage there're two ways how company grows goes into the future: either they're getting aquired by monster, or try to become one.
Being aquired is not that interesting, so let's go with becoming one
What do we need to become a monster (expect money, obv)?
Well, that's gonna be people, money and dominance. Get those 3 things and you're basically indestructable - do whatever you want.
You may ask me
"But Ethno, how do we become those guys?", good question, but I'm not a business major, so research it elsewhere.
At this stage you start to gain customers by maintaining low production costs of items and somewhat-low margins, remember - customer is a king.
You're addicting them to "local manufacturer" (from aliexpress, lol), "high quality" (worse than sugar level in coke), and "great sustainabolity" (not enough money to afford high-profile packaging)
So, you got customer base, you got money, what to do next?
God bless LLC
Let's make some real big money now. It's pretty straightforward - do not piss off your customers yet, aquire some smaller businesses, raise them to your level under your guidance.
Looks good, yeah? Because it is! You're basically a good guy in this chaotic universe, who is making really good shit.
But it's time to change. Time to become a moron and make bazillions of american rubles (or whatever currency you like)
Start destroying small businesses. How? Find somebody in your sphere; buy all right for their stuff; hide it in the deepest hole you find and never show to anybody.
You may ask "Why aren't we using that stuff?", and that's correct question for given context, but you're not good guy anymore, you are not obligated to care about customers, you are not obligated to care about anything than maintaining your dominance.
See the point? You're becoming even bigger because you're dominante because of you're big enough in the first place
Wheel of fortune make it's turn, uroboros is finally eating it's tale.
What did humanity get?
And here we are, in the world where MANGA (prev. FAANG) controls over 90% of the internet, in the world where book stores are basically dead because of printing industry, where blogs are dead because of twitter and medium, where newspapers are dead because of internet media and this list is going endlessly...
We live in the world of corporations, we live in the one fucking olygopoly where corps communicate to make us use them.
Obviously you can stop giving youtube money by stopping watching it, buy where would you go? Twitch? You just landed on Amazon land! And you're still making money for Google, because they own half of west worlds' ad spots. You just cannot leave them, but you may try to cut off the usage of them.
As K.I.Z. said - Hurra die Welt geht unter
Let's just sit and watch this world burn in the nuclear flame of faith, we're getting there real fast...
