Is Google turning into the dreaded Microsoft?

Hi thracian,

Lol what? Who said I was talking to you, did you see quote tags there anywhere?

Yes, but I can still talk to you, right? Since you contributed to this discussion.

Take a stress pill there bud, I was generalizing.

I am not stressed out, thank you for your concern . I was enjoying a nice cup of tea when I wrote that.

I was generalizing.

And here is the problem and reason why I also partly responded to you (while obviously also still talking to A895). You hop in, generalize and by that you ignore already stated arguments and facts.

So because you do not see the problem, I try once again to break it down:
Approximately 80% of all searches go through Google. It is a fact. Here, I looked it up for you:

Source: Google Search Statistics - Internet Live Stats

This is a solid fact, reality. There is no arguing about that. Whether people "have a choice" or not, whether there are other service or not does not change this fact. Do we agree on that?

And now here is the problem: Just as an example, imagine you are one out of this "crap ton" of services that offers something similar to Google Maps. Do you see how you are on a disadvantage here, since Google will always push Google Maps to anyone who is looking up a location? And as the company offering this service, you can not change the reality that everyone uses Google as a search engine.

This is true for all kind of possible services and companies. A dependency on Google is forced upon you.

How funny is it to bring up how you can choose whatever you want again?
Lol. Really funny. I give up. Logic is not for everyone. If someone can not even follow the simplest causal train, there is no chance for an argument.

Your are the one when the weak argument.

"Google has 80% of the search market! Look at this chart!"

That is what you have constantly said over and over, and when someone says there are alternatives, you're all "But still, 80%!"

If you can not understand that 80% is the big, big majority, there is really nothing that can be done. . But I do not believe that you do not understand - somehow you do not want to. For whatever reasons.

Whatever. As long as you are happy with that.
Thank you for the conversation.
