- oblio 6y agoI don't know why you're being downvoted, the word has a very precise meaning. As much as we can whine about Google and such, all of them solved a valid problem many people were facing, and they did it brilliantly. For a really long time Google Search really was the only game in town. The problem we have is with their externalities. For oligarchs, the main line of business <<is>> the problem.
