Let's not pretend like google does not have a monopoly on search engines, maps, and shortform video content. Also, their cloud ecosystem might be second behind AWS, but it's still fucking enormous and makes them truckloads of money.

As someone who routinely argues that Steam has a de facto monopoly... Google does not have a monopoly on search. Bing / DuckDuckGo works just fine. Especially now that Google's completely fucked their own results.

Google does not have a monopoly on search. Bing / DuckDuckGo works just fine.

Around 82% of search engine requests are issued through Google. Bing around 10%. I don't know if we just have differing definitions of "monopoly," but Google is the default on all Android devices, almost every non-Microsoft browser, and probably on Apple products as well. And most users don't know enough or care enough to ever change from that.

Honestly I suspect Bing will eventually surpass Google. Its reached the point where its better than Google for web search

Also, a huge chunk of shortform videos on YouTube are just reposted Tiktok videos, so Google doesn't have that either

Third. It goes AWS, with about 50% of the market, Azure with around 40%, and then GCP

[-] rwhitisissle@lemy.lol 2 points 4 months ago

Given that Amazon, Microsoft, and Google together only account for 64% of global cloud hosting, I'm going to say those numbers don't add up. But you are right that Google is third behind the other two.

[-] Cube6392@beehaw.org 1 points 4 months ago

Fair. I didn't realize the others had expanded their portion of the market that much. Last time I was looking at reports "other" only had <1% of the market.

It's actually 3rd. I think you're forgetting about how massive azure is
