The big ones are mostly state sponsored companies. Facebook and Google became huge because they got a lot of money from state agencies. Mostly indirect via front-companies.
With that they could dominate the market with good servers and pay for good programmers. With that they deliver a very good service "for free", while others could hardly get any money.
They also get some money for clicks and advertising, and also have started dominating the advertising market. But the big money is the hidden support from agencies of the government(s).
- allannienhuis 8y agoyour post would be more meaningful if you'd actually provide some evidence for those claims.
- lecarore 8y agoI think the money of Facebook mostly comes from ads. I understand that their knowledge about citizen could be valuable for governments and therefore could be part of how they make money. Now, can you prove what you are saying, or is it just a credible but proof-less conspiracy theory?
