翻译下这段吧
The different business models do not face an equal balance of challenges. The movers would be in better nick if the industry had meaningful barriers to entry. The streamers might have been able to bat away new entrants if network effects had been stronger. And the creepers were in reasonable shape until Apple and Alphabet spoiled their party. One shaky pillar is problematic enough. Three of them is a disaster waiting to happen.
不同的商业模式所面临的挑战并不均衡。如果这个行业存在有意义的准入壁垒,运输业的情况会更好。如果网络效应更强,流媒体可能已经能够击退新进入者。在苹果和Alphabet破坏他们的参与者之前,网络爬虫的状况还算不错。一个摇摇欲坠的支柱已经够麻烦了,三个支柱就是一场延后的灾难。
notes:
In particular, three business models embraced by firms born after the dotcom crash of 2001—and subsequently by investors—are losing steam: the movers (which shuttle people or things around cities), the streamers (which offer music and TV online) and the creepers (which make money by watching their users and selling eerily well-targeted ads).
