Quote from: Admiral Yi on November 23, 2025, 02:41:21 PMSeven posts up, fourth line down, fifth word.Ah you meant focusing on the ad part directly vs focusing on the front end services.
If you've been clear what the issue is, the answers to my questions should be simple.
Google is the owner of a small fraction of the billboards in the world, owns a small fraction of the printing machines, and employs a small fraction of the guys who put the posters up.
Googled it and turns out the own 29.7% of the *digital* ad market, which is not the total ad market.

Friendship over.Lot of people disagree. Especially in Europe. I can't get help but think that J.K. Rowling would get a pass if she wore a hijab.
QuoteGoogle's control over the digital ad ecosystem
Ad exchange: Approximately 50% of the market share.
Publisher ad server: Approximately 90% of the market share.
Buy-side market: Approximately 40-80% of the market share.

Quote from: Admiral Yi on November 23, 2025, 11:18:59 AMI don't know what you mean. I never mentioned the word focus.Quote from: Josquius on November 23, 2025, 03:59:01 AMCome on. That's playing too dumb. You don't know what I mean by behind the scenes when I specifically mention it in a paragraph about advertising?
They absolutely do have a monopoly in parts of advertising on a par with their search dominance. Something like 90% of ads flow through their server.
I can infer that behind the scenes means all the activities Google engages in apart from the directly consumer facing aspects. I don't understand focus. Who is supposed to focus? What will their focus result in? I don't understand the relationship between focus and breaking up the company. Will more attention be paid to their back room shenanigans once they are broken up? Will breaking them up make it harder to hide their back room shenanigans?
QuoteGoogle has a monopoly on advertising on their site to the exact same extent the owner of a single billboard does.
