It's called a monopsony[1], regardless, antitrust regulation is famously dead under the current US administration.

Regulation is dead under this current US administration (unless you pay a bribe). It's so weird this is where we are right now and most of the tech leadership has to play along even though it's technically illegal?

very cool word, but I think the etymology stated in Wikipedia is wrong.

the second part of the word just means purchase (in a weird ancient Greek tense). there's no relation to fish whatsoever.
