The President recently raised concerns about a potential $72B acquisition deal between Netflix and Warner Bros. His main worry? Market concentration. If this merger goes through, the streaming platform would control a massive chunk of the entertainment industry's pie.
This isn't just corporate reshuffling—it's about who gets to control content distribution in the digital age. When one player dominates streaming, it shapes what we watch, how much we pay, and which creators get a platform. The administration seems wary of letting any single entity accumulate that much leverage.
Whether regulators will actually block the deal remains uncertain. But the signal is clear: mega-mergers in tech and media are facing tougher scrutiny than before. Market dominance concerns aren't going away anytime soon.

Monopoly and fleecing retail investors are inevitable.
