The biggest barriers to competing with Google, IMO: * Google (and all of FAANG) have a stupid high percentage of the worker pool. * Google's biggest asset is that they are Google. Kind of like competing with Coke. Intrinsic quality of what they do is kind of irrelevant. * General lack of value in most things internet. Google is getting a lot of value out of what they do, but they are having to put stupid levels of manpower into squeezing out that value.
