How would that solve the problem at hand (Google having a near-monopoly on search and video)?

Email: Protonmail, Tutanota, etc. Storage: AWS, Box, pCloud, etc. Search: DuckDuckGo, a few open source projects, etc. Video: Not sure if there is one.

My point is just if you pay for something, you are less likely to be gamed for advertising cash.

For search you should be paying for the indexes in some way, or for the algorithms in your company.

I am just presenting this as a philosophy. Not trying to solve the world's problems on a forum.

Other than waiting for a superior product to emerge, nothing can be done to stop their monopoly besides seizing the google.com and youtube.com domains and permanently shutting them down.
