    Also so they can basically shape web standards and ecosystems however they want. Websites will do literally anything to stay listed and relevant in google search. Google does this by shaping a web that serves ads and thereby makes them more money

    Right, being able to sell the most ads because you have the most page views about something people are specifically interested in
