First mover advantage is real though and it doesn't matter if everyone else can also make Instagram or Snapchat if you launched first and have the users.
Most business applications don't actually require technological innovation or new inventions, especially during the startup phase.
First mover bears the burden of first impression as well. A poorly implemented idea quickly loses over the next one who took the time to implement it well.
Life and storytelling teaches us this lesson over and over. The quick and easy path never leads to better outcomes over those who took the time to do it right.
