Reply to comment by tyrion85 in ELI5: Everyone knows that Ticketmaster is the biggest scumbucket enterprise on the planet yet no band seems able to avoid their grasp. What's to stop a really major act (e.g. Taylor Swift) from performing in venues that are not controlled by Ticketmaster, or just setting up a parallel company? by havereddit

Libertarians don't factor in that companies conspire together against consumers, and actively buy out all their competition. Furthermore a lot businesses WANT to be bought out.

They also don't live in this thing we call reality

Yeah they always like to say “just make a better product “ as if the existing competition doesn’t have the funds to squash any attempt for newcomers to enter the market
