You would think that in the last 20 years a single company would have been able to duplicate Google's 2004 performance, especially since hardware is so much more powerful than it was back then.
Lol, the size of the internet userbase was 900 million in 2004, and in 2022 it was 5.54 billion. 2.6 million videos are uploaded to YouTube every day. At this point, even Google refuses to scrape the entire web, it is now too big to do so. So, who exactly do you think has the funds to do this in 2026 and then offer all that hard work for free?
Not to say that Google isn't an illegal monopoly that's enriching itself by encouraging the worst of humanity by purposely promoting rage bait on top of its evil social engineering efforts. But yeah, nobody does what Google did because it's impossible at this point, would simply cost too much.
Eternal September, 2009, and there's no going back. Smart people made it easy for idiots to get online, an army of useful idiots, and you can see the results in Minnesota right now. Such power will not be given up easily. The ladders have been pulled up, all paths for regular people and companies to breakout in tech are closed.

Isn't the problem that they do it for free, in 2004 there was just alta vista so the competition was essentially nil.
