I think the dynamics of Google paid default search engine is super interesting.
Everyone who takes the money agree that they wouldn't want to use another search engine. At the same time, Apple and Google are fierce competitors and deeply in bed with each other.
"We don't want to help your business by giving you access to customers, but we would like you to pay a lot of money to get access to our customer base, which we would have done anyway"
- voisin 3y ago> which we would have done anyway Not necessarily. Had they not paid, Apple may have chosen to create its own search engine for safari on iOS devices. Part of this fee from Google was certainly a “don’t compete with us on this metric because we are raising the bar by $10b/year for you to bother competing”
- lukas099 3y agoApple and Google compete for fractions of market share, but neither is really scared of the other. If it came to it, Apple and Google would gladly band together to push down any newcomers in the market. In the meantime they are happy to trade with each other where it makes sense for both parties.
