Google doesn't have an advertising monopoly. Facebook all by itself does about half of Google's revenue in ads. Then you have twitter, amazon, snap, all kinds of stuff. Google would be lucky to have 40% of online ads, and then once you include all advertising they are way down, maybe 15-20% or something.

- danielmarkbruce 2y agoThat's at least close to the truth. It's not strictly a monopoly though. And there is a very real chance it's all about to blow up given LLMs.
- alsetmusic 2y agoThe judge found them to be a monopoly. They are strictly a monopoly. Unless the case gets overturned, they are exactly a monopoly. LLMs are not going to meaningfully upset the balance any time soon. They are a service / product in search of a problem for most people. And if they do something useful for you, that’s great but HN users are not most people so the statement stands.
