This is honestly a bad thing. I get people want to kick Google in the shins every so often but a war on advertising on this scale is going to put more and more things behind a paywall.
Trying to force us back to the days of the AOL-style walled garden is bad for everyone. The fact the OP hasn't figured that out is a clear sign he is out of touch.

- thedevil 11y agoThanks. I was wondering why this guy was so extremist. But now it makes sense.
- fweespeech 11y agoYeah. However, the number of pro-OP comments made me facepalm.
- jasonmcalacanis 11y agoI'm way over Google taking away the 140th largest site in USA with 10m in revenue from me.... :-) I mean, they are targeting everyone for extinction, from Yelp to content sites to comparison shopping. They used partnerships to build their business... literally meeting with all of us startups 10+ years ago and saying "let's win together!" and then they double crossed all of us, studied our traffic and moved us 600 pixels down the page. Its a great lesson for folks: never build your business inside of someone else's.... unless you have a really good idea of how you can pull and Aliens-like move and eat the host!
- fweespeech 11y agoYou are aware that Apple has screwed "partners" over before, including their own employees?
