This is ~~probably~~ the most stupid and useless article I read in the last months. It feels like it was written by a 6 year old with access to DALL-E.

I partially agree. They created a monopoly because they offer the best search engine service. You can't be accused of making a monopoly if your competition is embarrassingly bad and no one wants to use any service but yours.
What they are doing now, regardless of how they gained this monopoly, is ensuring that every cow that feeds on the grass of their field yields profitable milk.
They are still going to pursue it, just under a different name and rolling-out timeline. What they changed is only the way they are announcing it publicly.
It's going to be "DRM for the Web, but with extra steps".
AI writes better than that.
Tech journalism has always been like this.
To avoid the terrible feeling of cringe, I always tried to steer clear of this kind of article, especially when it's written by someone who doesn't know shit about the content but still decides to talk about it.
