some grim monday morning news: Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is buying Time magazine for $190m

this ties together various things i've been thinking about lately: digital advertising & journalism; rent extraction on the internet; intellectual property; & entrepreneurship.

[thread]
this isn't an isolated thing. the backdrop is important: 5 years ago, Bezos bought the Washington Post; the year before that, Chris Hughes of FB bought The New Republic.

rather than going into the merits (or otherwise) of Benioff as an individual, we need a structural analysis
some quick background on Salesforce (1999): they do a lot, so it's hard to describe them precisely, but broadly they make enterprise software for sales & marketing. this core product has scaled quickly - they've gobbled up potential competitors & become a key player in this space
