From the standpoint of the consumer they may not have a monopoly, but from the standpoint of the website they do.
- gowld 8y agoThe website makes effort to please Google because Google is the user's freely chosen search agent. If the users en masse chose Bing or Oath/Yahoo or DDG instead (or in addition), the website would make effort to please them instead.
- rdlecler1 8y agoNothing you’ve said contradicts the argument that they have a monopoly over websites. The fact is, is that people once chose their search engine and today they no longer make that choice even if they have the ability to exercise it.
