Not an OP, but I think the search monopoly is likely to end within the next 10 years. There were fundamental reasons that kept it alive and all of them are becoming irrelevant at various speeds.
Not that it must kill Google, they can still pivot and e.g. Google Cloud is already non-negligible in their revenue structure. But I'm relatively confident that search/ads duo won't be their main earner anymore just like Windows is not the main earner of Microsoft.

Now it's again, the most valuable company in the world. At what point do people admit they're just bad at predicting the future?
- alexey-salmin 1y agoWell Microsoft did lose their Windows monopoly, didn't they? I predict the same with Google and Google Search.
- FirmwareBurner 1y agoWell damn, you got me there, I should have been more specific, that's on me.
