Here is an example of the type of anti trust stuff Google does One of the industries we work in is a classic New Startups Vs Established Silicon Valley Company/Companies type of industry In this case the Established companies are Google and a few others * Here are some of the things Google does A) Whenever any company grows beyond a certain threshold, it drops that company drastically in organic search The #1 and #2 companies are at #41 and #42 in search results B) IN parallel, fills up organic search with every possible negative result they can find about these companies C) Adwords RoI drops from 1:4 to 1:8 range to 1:1 range D) Click Fraud increases + some of the click fraud is from Google Cloud and Google servers Either -> Google can't stop click fraud from ITS OWN SERVERS, or it is doing it itself E) One of the startups was growing very fast in Android - App STore - 1,500 people a day (pretty fast for our industry) Within ONE WEEK of this information becoming public, each and every app from every company in this space got kicked out of Android store F) Drops email open rate by putting emails in Social Folder, Newsletter Folder, Junk Folder Of course, they are so blatant about it they did it to all the companies in the space in the same week and dropped it by the almost exact same amount So everyone's Gmail open rates fell from 11% roughly to 5%. In the SAME WEEK G) YouTube comments are hidden All the positive comments on YouTube videos get hidden and can only be seen by finding the option to show all comments (which 99% of people don't even know) * A lot of people are making arguments without actually being the target of the antitrust Keep in mind this (Google) is a company that has The largest browser share The largest search engine share The largest OS share The largest video platform share and many other advantages They also are a trillion dollar company HOWEVER, they play very dirty If you are in an area where you are competing against them they will use EACH AND EVERY of their levers and they will go all out and do straight up illegal stuff Things like dropping the two largest companies in a space to FOURTH PAGE of search results
