I think the solution to this is simple: Pay for every service you use.
The question was historically then how do teenagers (or the developing world for that matter) pay for electronic services and cue Facebook and Google.
- 7786655 6y agoHow would that solve the problem at hand (Google having a near-monopoly on search and video)?
- root_axis 6y agoOther than waiting for a superior product to emerge, nothing can be done to stop their monopoly besides seizing the google.com and youtube.com domains and permanently shutting them down.
- mikorym 6y agoEmail: Protonmail, Tutanota, etc. Storage: AWS, Box, pCloud, etc. Search: DuckDuckGo, a few open source projects, etc. Video: Not sure if there is one. My point is just if you pay for something, you are less likely to be gamed for advertising cash. For search you should be paying for the indexes in some way, or for the algorithms in your company. I am just presenting this as a philosophy. Not trying to solve the world's problems on a forum.
