Only the top of the funnel is always under attack. But as always, Adobe will buy or simply build its own "new thing" and keep the funnel open on their side. No need to have 100% of the market going into the funnel, just enough to not have this completely closed. So, some work there to keep the funnel open, but easy to do, business as usual. Defending the moat is a normal process for wide-moat companies.
@FindleysFinance Do a startup then. You will find out that is not so easy to do. Especially the distribution part. It's actually almost impossible to compete. That's the truth. And this is also why Adobe cannot acquire anything because of monopoly concerns (see figma).
@FindleysFinance How difficult is it to build this for Adobe? Very easy, in fact. I think you can do it with Adobe Express. The point is, this is the top of the funnel, and there is some competition. But as soon as you go a bit more into serious design things, there is no question where you go.
@FindleysFinance In addition, products are not the only thing that matters. The switching cost matters, the brand matters, the distribution matters, and being the standard in the market matters. I evaluate them as having one of the strongest models, not the weaker.
@byr10148@alex__pitti In your dreams. Do you even know what company Adobe is? It is one of the strongest companies in the world. It's not easy to even put a dent in it. Do your research more seriously, please.
