I'm in minority, but with all VCs funding available today I just don't get any anti-monopoly laws. Adsense didn't work for you and you are unhappy with the experience. Does some other company solution works better for you? Then switch. If it doesn't then adsense is giving you the best value for your money and I see no reason for inefficient governments to interfere with how efficient companies function. edit: I don't mind downvotes but I would appreciate some arguments, especially if you don't agree but you are in favor of free market as opposed to heavily regulated one.

> ... with all VCs funding available today I just don't get any anti-monopoly laws. Are you implying that there is a sum of money that could dislodge Googles stranglehold on the search (and therefore search advertising) market? Look at Microsofts efforts with showering Bing with money. If VCs could back a potential Google-killer, what is the chance that it could resist becoming swallowed by Google once the threat was apparent? > Does some other company solution works better for you? Then switch. If it doesn't then AdSense is giving you the best value for your money If you are reliant on AdSense and are locked out by a mistake, you're screwed. Google has total dominance, no other platform comes close.

  ad1. I'm implying it's much easier with VC. But you surely cannot beat Google trying to do exactly what they are doing. With enough innovation, yes I think you can. Google used to be a small company too. As long as there is a freedom of choice for customer all giants fall once they are bad enough. Of course there is advantage in being big, apart from the technology. But that advantage comes from many many people choosing this technology over other options. ad2. No other platform comes close so let's make it worse so that other ones are closer? I know you think you don't want to make it worse but to improve it. But that's your, or some government opinion. And these opinions are not what led to this dominance. It's quite possible that being led by those opinions it would never succeed, and some other, worse platform would be dominant.
