> In fairness to them [...] what do you want them to do? Just continue to lose money How come CNET is getting a free pass here to do something obnoxious because they're losing money, but Google is getting the stick for (maybe) doing something obnoxious to avoid losing money? I think Google do a lot of bad stuff but let's at least assign blame proportionally.

Because Google is a wildly profitable ad tech behemoth with a history of screwing over news companies and CNET is probably just trying to survive. Do you really not see the power dynamics at play here?
