I was blocked indefinitely from Adsense by Google's faulty algorithms (without explanation and with appeals rejected without explanation). I lost the revenue I'd earnt that month, and soon realised Google holds a monopoly in this space, and no one else offered a comparable service.

- axx 12y agosame happend to a buddy of mine, they've lost around ~50k because of this. Without explanation Google blocked them from using AdSense and withheld the money.

A problem is if Google kept Adsense payouts artificially low or charged advertisers too much because of their market power. (Also, a monopoly on the buy side is called a monopsony.)
