Nothing could be more of an example of why monopolies suck than Google search.

Went from great to shitty in a few years as they ruined it for various forms of incidental revenue.

Now we have no good alternatives because they dominated the market.

(I know there is DuckDuckGo, but it has never been as good as Google. Closer now but that, imo, is because Google is trash now.)
