Google. Other 2 wont be around in a few years.
If these are your only options, Google.
FB is essentially an ad sales platform at this stage, and Uber seems to have peaked as well.
Netflix 2nd to google. Uber is a great product, im a heavy user but seems to have not found a way to actually be profitable and sustainable and theres nothing really proprietary, hence lyft and more competitors entering the market. Having your ceo get fired for talking out of his ass about eeo issues doesnt help. FB is an add platform with a now declining user base, its major shareholders are all cashing out including zuckster, miss leanin is MIA, and have you been on there lately? Theres a reason fishbowl exists, I want a social media platform i can do things without being spammed with ads and fake news.
Mephistopheles is that you?
EY1: What are you smoking? Facebook is the only monopoly out of the 3 which means I see it being here for as long as the founder and team remain innovative. Also, the others have stiffer competition and alternative products. Another way to reaffirm this point is think which you can comfortably live without and you should come back to FB.
My view though doesn’t reflect which is the better choice per OP’s question - I only thought to drop this in reaction to the first comment
Did you not see the news about their autonomous vehicle?
@M1 I think the FB comment is fair, what makes you think Uber has peaked? Considering their expansion (e.g., UberEATS, UberFreight etc)
Where does Netflix fit into this?
I don't think any of Uber's expansions are particularly innovative or interesting (can't imagine being excited to work on a Seamless knockoff)
I think Ubers first mover advantage in ride sharing paired with their R&D in autonomous vehicles is pretty exciting
Yes, obviously extremely unfortunate, but I don’t think it compromises them as a going concern
@EY1 what’s driving your pessimism about FB and Uber?
You would have to be an idiot to go to FB now.
My perception is that Uber is just betting big they’ll be first to market with autonomous cars. Problem is that there’s heavy competition and if they aren’t successful they don’t have a good business model to operate on, hence not being profitable for so many years. Love to know if I’m wrong or misinformed on this.
Facebook is already starting to become regulated. Also, they have already reached their peak in terms of user growth. They have to wait for the remaining parts of the world to get connected to the internet. The strat may be interesting in how to optimize given this.
FB downed another 5% at its leader agreeing to testify before congress. Let that sink in. Wall street has very little confidence in their CEO. Msleanin is also MIA.
Plot twist - Facebook buys Fishbowl to retain declining user base... Once you think you're out, they pull you right back in!
