Google gives away so much value for free. Google Maps is a great example.

Now they're giving away their market position, halting everything valuable inside Google that was leading to good products. Thanks Google!

It'll take a moment. Monopolies don't crumble overnight.

If you believe this is how it should go, then wherever you can, do your part. Help alternatives get so good that they stop being the "alternative".
