It is about search and btw companies take their profits and expand their portfolios if it wasn't like that Apple would still be doing PCs and Iphone wouldn't exist.
- beezle 6y agoThere are still other search engines and were many more prior to "google" becoming a verb. They won over those because their search results were faster/better. Yet there is no barrier to entry in websearch. As seen with DDG, some people value privacy higher so they have a niche. I think the real reason why nobody really tries to compete is not upfront money or techinical issues, but that nobody can think of a way to monetize successfully while attractively differentiating themselves from google search.
