The internet is not a zero sum game per se. It's quite evident that new users are added each day at a faster pace than old people are dying away from the Internet. Because of that, the definition for a zero sum game does not apply which would invalidate your statement of "your loss, my gain". Also, just because a user doesn't come to me, don't necessarily mean he's going elsewhere. He might be logging off and go to the beach instead.

But why am I even trying to argue statistics here?

No really? I thought there would just be a blank space where my Google listings used to be.
