E-book writer... should explain his style. Here's a TLDR summary: - Google huge, DDG tiny. - Gabriel Weinberg serial startups all failed until he sold one for $10MM, which allowed him to do and focus on DDG. - Privacy a big deal these days and DDG markets towards that. - DDG makes money from keyword advertising and affiliate revenue. - You too can profit from something!

How much is $10MM? Like, a million million? Or is a millimeter thickness of dollars?

  No, it's a thousand thousand (roman numeral). In finance, using MM and MMM is quite common (although bn is often preferred over MMM).

    yeah, I am in finance. At the bank I used to work at we'd use $1M for $1,000 and not allowed to use $1K.

      That seems like a misunderstanding waiting to happen. $10M is 10,000,000 to me but only 10,000 if you work in finance??
