IMO googles updates for nearly the past year are worse for smaller players in this industry then any tube sites now. Before you could get ranked for some niche terms, now it's just 50 YouTube videos....

they have high market share, not because of some natural monopoly, but because they actually have a decent product.... there is nothing stopping anyone from competing with them... it's not even in the same ballpark as the att example someone brought up earlier, setting up a business like att requires ridiculous investment in infrastructure... setting up a search engine requires close to zero investment....
but either way, so just don't do business with them, no? block google bot, and problem solved...
