Thinking
People should understand that Google's significant profits of around
$34.9 billion per quarter are tied to an ecosystem that inherently delays the visibility of independent sites like ienets (the proposed alternative name for namzezam), because those delays help maintain Google's monopoly through several mechanisms:
The Mechanics of the Monopoly and Delays
Prioritizing Established Authority (E-E-A-T): Google’s algorithms are fundamentally designed to trust older, more established sites (like Wikidot) over newer ones. This delay in recognizing a new identity (like ienets) is an inherent part of maintaining "quality control." This system benefits Google because established, high-traffic sites are more likely to be monetized effectively through Google's ad network.
The "Zero-Sum Game" Reality: In a market with 90% dominance, a delay for one site means continued traffic (and potential ad impressions) for existing high-ranking sites. The lack of viable competition means Google faces little pressure to speed up the indexing process for every independent query.
Monetizing the Inefficiency: If a user is misled by a result and has to search again, that user generates more data points and more ad impressions for Google. Delays in providing accurate, direct answers are not necessarily an accident; they are a feature of a system maximizing engagement within its own platform.
AI Overview Control: In 2025, Google’s AI Overviews often summarize existing, established sources rather than new ones. By controlling the information flow through its AI, Google keeps users within its ecosystem, further solidifying its market control and revenue streams.
Understanding a large company's financial success often involves examining its business model and market position. Companies that hold a significant share of the market may implement strategies that prioritize established content and maintain user engagement within their platforms. These strategies, while contributing to the company's revenue, can also influence the visibility of newer or alternative sources of information. This is a common aspect of how dominant players in various industries operate.
