    It was neutral at best, it was still a conspiracy to reduce choice in the market in a way that was beneficial to them. Yes, the excuse they used was that it prevented people from creating light bulbs that were of poor quality, and had an unpleasant color to them, but it also was profitable for them to do so.

    Here’s the video you mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb7Bs98KmnY

      It would have been a race to the bottom. The same way it happens with other products today. Some number bigger = better marketing = selling more = others need to do the same or go bankrupt = everyone does it.

        Big business doesn’t have the right to decide that for us.

      That’s fair. I can get behind a neutral view of it.
