Isn't that most private companies ?
Searching for sources of income ?
- mandelken 5y agoNo, most private companies are not monopolies (although many would not mind I guess). It seems online advertising has a strong network effect[1], where website owners use Google ads because that's where most advertisers are and advertisers use Google ads because it has most reach (and therefore tracking). This naturally creates a monopoly, just like with Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, AirBnB, Uber etc. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect
