... did you just describe an advertising marketplace as an alternative to web search?
- ocdtrekkie 6y ago"an advertising marketplace as an alternative to web search" To the large portion of the population who doesn't understand that the "top result" on a Google search is an ad, this is already where we are at. The subtle but impactful changes to make ads incrementally less distinguishable from real results has brought us here.
- roenxi 6y agoIf I search "computer" on google my entire screen was literally filled ads. For that query a "web search" would be an alternative to the advertising marketplace that Google actually was. There isn't anything magical about Google or Google's ability to provide a search service. It isn't easy, but it isn't outside the skills of the top 2-5% of developers. If a company figures out a superior business model they can be disrupted.
