The funniest thing in this video are the thought that Duck Duck Go is a relevant search engine (its not) and that Epic Games will pass the savings to customers if the Google Play store fees is reduced (they wont) 🤣
For epic games - keeping the status quo of a parasite on ppl creating the actual apps and games is unacceptable and can’t be maintained. Something must be done
Well that's just it. Other search engines CANT be relevant precisely because of Google monopolist behaviour. If not prevented from doing so, a lot of people would easily opt for a decent search engine that doesn't steal their data. In Epic's case your argument is a lot weaker because Epic has none-mobile platforms as well yet prices across both mobile and non-mobile are standardised. Meaning Google(and Apple) fees mean they make less on mobile than console/PC. Whether or not the standardised prices are artificially inflated to cover their losses on mobile is another question entirely.
Remember askjeeves? Bing? The one with the spider? Even yahoo and Bing are relatively unknown. Once the 90s ended Google took over and the old internet was over.
Ran Pauls statement was more outrageous. No proof of google being a monopoly. Yeah that's why marketing courses literally teach how to use google, and it's not even limited to search engines they control video content as well, violating free speech rights by censoring youtube as well, how the hell can that guy make such a statement without having tomatoes thrown at him. TH-cam has been a monopoly for DECADES and the only competitior that was able to emerge was created in a distached market in China, literally proving my point, Tik Tok only still exists because Google couldn't touch their market in China.
With the way the top of Google results lack variety and constantly put a few sites like Wikipedia, IMDb, etc, at the top, I wouldn't mind if Google shut down. That never looked good how they put a few sites at the top constantly. They could have a lot of websites to click on at the top, all equally visible, but they don't.
What about Microsoft? They have monopoly in operating system, productivity apps ,AI and ,cloud. Their dominance in os and productivity app like office and excel and ERPs give them edge in cloud industry
1. Windows is an open platform. Microsoft solved their antitrust issues regarding this in the 90s. 2. It's not a monopoly, Apple exists in the home computer market. (Again, nowhere near as dominant as in the 90s) 3. Google, Apple, and dozens of others have taken significant share of the 'productivity apps' space. Microsoft is nowhere near as dominant as they were in the 90s (where they didn't need to break up because of the positive changes they made) 4. Amazon has more cloud marketshare than Microsoft.
The video is about Google. Microsoft having a monopoly doesn't make change anything about Google having one, too. And if you watched the video, they mentioned Microsoft's illegal monopoly.
And let's not forget bill gates is buying all the farmland in America. That's a food monopoly waiting to happen. Nevermind the water rights he's taking from everyone else. None of it should be legal.
We need to discuss capitalism. Our country celebrates building a company from the ground up, and that's what Google did in the early 2000s. Now they're so big signing agreements, not forcing other companies to take their money, but enting into agreements to become the default search engine on devices and other platforms. This should be a celebration of the success of a company. Not talking about breaking them up. We also need to discuss antitrust laws. Isn't antitrust hypocritical to capitalism?
- Isn't antitrust hypocritical to capitalism? The answer is a resounding no. When a corporation becomes too powerful and swallows up all its competition, then it is no longer a free market. Just as Standard Oil was broken up into smaller companies, Big Tech and other "Big" companies must be broken up.If they are not broken up, we will no longer have capitalism, but rather the consolidation of a neo-feudal system with large techno-feudal lords.
It sounds like you're talking about Laissez-faire capitalism which has never been successful anywhere. Any system turned into an ideology, and taken to its most extreme tends to lose sight of its original reasons for being. What we want is an efficient allocation of capital, which requires the ability for new competitors to rise, because we know that drives innovation, productivity, economic growth etc. Capitalism should be thought of as a tool not an ideology, and like any system (such as a sports league), it works best when regulated to keep the desired outcomes on track. So is intervention antithetical to capitalism? Yes but it's not antithetical to the reasons America adopted a mixed economy with a capitalist component in the first place.
You really don’t understand that this isn’t a free market or capitalism anymore. We are entering late stage capitalism. We the ppl are truly screwed and I can’t help but feel like part of the problem. I work in private equity and before that i was in VC and ib. We’ve allowed the big guys to destroy any chance of companies competing especially start ups. So many times we would take on a small startup just so a fortune 1000 could come in and snuff them out via an acquisition. Nothing is going to happen. Politicians are bought and paid for.
The problem with breaking up Google along departmental lines is that the profitable departments (ad services) would still be printing money as the dominant player in the industry, while their subsidized departments that deliver the services people use (like TH-cam, Google Drive, and to a lesser extent Google Search) would likely go bankrupt. So, we'd lose so much data, and still end up with a massive advertising monopoly. I'm not saying the status quo is tenable or right. I'm saying that structurally, our economic policies and legal options aren't designed for the kind of world we now live in. No corporation should own this much of our daily lives, but by applying existing remedies, we'd be blowing off our kneecaps to try and cure cancer.

I hardly see any users with complaints about Google, only the government... we don't like using Bing anyways and don't know of any other platform that can match TH-cam
4:55 absolutely not. The price will remain the same just developers takes back more. Happened with games too. At first EGS (Epic's store) tried to claim that their 12% share will make games cheaper compared to Steam's 20-30%, yet games just got more and more expensive regardless. Not to mention Epic itself has basically a monopoly in game engines and usually takes 5% of any sale of any game using their engine anywhere.
1. Steam is the market leader for games distribution on PC. 2. Steam doesn't allow games to be cheaper on other stores. 3. Publishers won't reduce the price for perceived value. Epic did discounts on games where the publishers didn't lose anything and they were not happy.
The US loves monopolies and duopolies, look at Apple, Boeing, GM, Ford, Stellantis, P&G, Johnson & Johnson and etc… they don’t want too many competitions.
Clue: none of these are monopolies. Everyone has a choice to buy an Iphone, a Ford - or buy a product made by COMPETITORS. So remember, educate yourself by reading, THINKING and then writing. In that order.
Apple is not a monopoly. Boeing is not a monopoly. GM and ford are not duopoly. Wtf is this comment. Google on the other hand is - in terms of ad providing. And they are undercutting other ad providers.
The fact that Epic Games plays such a central role in attacking the "tolls" Google and Apple take for their services show that you need power to break power. Over time, an unregulated industry will always get worse. That's why we need good, honest government regulations here.
Just register/move the company to a different country, case closed. They might incur financial losses due to taxations, but at least they'll save the company and it's vision.

Disappointing report, apparently the story researchers and editors are unaware of the AT&T, Bell, Actel and Lucent divestitures, which are much more recent and far more relevant to the current tech monopoly discussions. And which did cause consumer pricing to fall sharply and create new markets for parallel market players (including Google Fi) to slide into the market. Does anyone believe free SMS plans would exist under the old AT&T Bell monopolies?

Google trying to appeal means breaking google is not just necessary but also can teach companies to see a vrry good example of what can happen to avoid the same problem.. Google is becoming insensitive at this point instead of doing better

Apple is nowhere close to being a monopoly. It begins by looking at market share. Apple is 20% of the phone market the same as Samsung. You have to be over 90% to be considered a monopoly such as was the case in the case of Microsoft in the late 1990s.

Apple isn't paying service providers to make their phone contracts exclusively apple
Nothing will happen. This is a great example of network effect. Those that are crying over this can use Bing or DuckDuckGo. Good luck!
I seriously don't care what happens as long as I can still use Google search. Every other search engine I use sucks ass
so you admit google just made a superior product and is suffering from success
The funniest thing in this video are the thought that Duck Duck Go is a relevant search engine (its not) and that Epic Games will pass the savings to customers if the Google Play store fees is reduced (they wont) 🤣
For epic games - keeping the status quo of a parasite on ppl creating the actual apps and games is unacceptable and can’t be maintained. Something must be done
Well that's just it. Other search engines CANT be relevant precisely because of Google monopolist behaviour. If not prevented from doing so, a lot of people would easily opt for a decent search engine that doesn't steal their data.
In Epic's case your argument is a lot weaker because Epic has none-mobile platforms as well yet prices across both mobile and non-mobile are standardised.
Meaning Google(and Apple) fees mean they make less on mobile than console/PC. Whether or not the standardised prices are artificially inflated to cover their losses on mobile is another question entirely.
Duck Duck Google
Remember askjeeves? Bing? The one with the spider? Even yahoo and Bing are relatively unknown. Once the 90s ended Google took over and the old internet was over.
Ran Pauls statement was more outrageous. No proof of google being a monopoly. Yeah that's why marketing courses literally teach how to use google, and it's not even limited to search engines they control video content as well, violating free speech rights by censoring youtube as well, how the hell can that guy make such a statement without having tomatoes thrown at him. TH-cam has been a monopoly for DECADES and the only competitior that was able to emerge was created in a distached market in China, literally proving my point, Tik Tok only still exists because Google couldn't touch their market in China.
Google does not depend on nvidia gpus. It's for third party consumers.
Terrible idea to breakup Google.
With the way the top of Google results lack variety and constantly put a few sites like Wikipedia, IMDb, etc, at the top, I wouldn't mind if Google shut down. That never looked good how they put a few sites at the top constantly. They could have a lot of websites to click on at the top, all equally visible, but they don't.
Because most are garbage. Google put the sites at the top most people want and visit.
What about Microsoft? They have monopoly in operating system, productivity apps ,AI and ,cloud. Their dominance in os and productivity app like office and excel and ERPs give them edge in cloud industry
1. Windows is an open platform. Microsoft solved their antitrust issues regarding this in the 90s.
2. It's not a monopoly, Apple exists in the home computer market. (Again, nowhere near as dominant as in the 90s)
3. Google, Apple, and dozens of others have taken significant share of the 'productivity apps' space. Microsoft is nowhere near as dominant as they were in the 90s (where they didn't need to break up because of the positive changes they made)
4. Amazon has more cloud marketshare than Microsoft.
The video is about Google. Microsoft having a monopoly doesn't make change anything about Google having one, too. And if you watched the video, they mentioned Microsoft's illegal monopoly.
And let's not forget bill gates is buying all the farmland in America. That's a food monopoly waiting to happen. Nevermind the water rights he's taking from everyone else. None of it should be legal.
All that data and they still cant find the right customer base for my ads.
i hope android doesnt get sold, it is one of the things google does well
It's gotten worse in many aspects and is becoming more and more tied to Google, which is bad
if you can't manage to change your default search you probably should just walk away from the keyboard :)
Not everyone is a nerd. Not everyone know that you can change the default search.
@@gabdongipark agree, default settings are a very big part of the problem. there probably shouldn't be one
I don't believe my eyes!
CNBC is actually reporting on something newsworthy.
SHADOW agreement for DOJ case Google
Break Google up to only have individual companies to coalesce in the future like the *_Baby Bells_* 🤷
2:44 that is patently false. It does not take 15-20 steps to change the default browser on Android.
We need to discuss capitalism. Our country celebrates building a company from the ground up, and that's what Google did in the early 2000s. Now they're so big signing agreements, not forcing other companies to take their money, but enting into agreements to become the default search engine on devices and other platforms. This should be a celebration of the success of a company. Not talking about breaking them up. We also need to discuss antitrust laws. Isn't antitrust hypocritical to capitalism?
capitalism ultimately will create jungle law, civilized one, probably, but still...
It's monopoly and isn't capitalism but crony capitalism with consolidation with underhanded methods
- Isn't antitrust hypocritical to capitalism?
The answer is a resounding no. When a corporation becomes too powerful and swallows up all its competition, then it is no longer a free market. Just as Standard Oil was broken up into smaller companies, Big Tech and other "Big" companies must be broken up.If they are not broken up, we will no longer have capitalism, but rather the consolidation of a neo-feudal system with large techno-feudal lords.
It sounds like you're talking about Laissez-faire capitalism which has never been successful anywhere. Any system turned into an ideology, and taken to its most extreme tends to lose sight of its original reasons for being. What we want is an efficient allocation of capital, which requires the ability for new competitors to rise, because we know that drives innovation, productivity, economic growth etc. Capitalism should be thought of as a tool not an ideology, and like any system (such as a sports league), it works best when regulated to keep the desired outcomes on track. So is intervention antithetical to capitalism? Yes but it's not antithetical to the reasons America adopted a mixed economy with a capitalist component in the first place.
You really don’t understand that this isn’t a free market or capitalism anymore. We are entering late stage capitalism. We the ppl are truly screwed and I can’t help but feel like part of the problem. I work in private equity and before that i was in VC and ib. We’ve allowed the big guys to destroy any chance of companies competing especially start ups. So many times we would take on a small startup just so a fortune 1000 could come in and snuff them out via an acquisition. Nothing is going to happen. Politicians are bought and paid for.
The problem with breaking up Google along departmental lines is that the profitable departments (ad services) would still be printing money as the dominant player in the industry, while their subsidized departments that deliver the services people use (like TH-cam, Google Drive, and to a lesser extent Google Search) would likely go bankrupt.
So, we'd lose so much data, and still end up with a massive advertising monopoly.
I'm not saying the status quo is tenable or right. I'm saying that structurally, our economic policies and legal options aren't designed for the kind of world we now live in. No corporation should own this much of our daily lives, but by applying existing remedies, we'd be blowing off our kneecaps to try and cure cancer.
Bring Julianne Iwersen Niemann on the show. She changed my life Financially I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Julianne Iwersen Niemann, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market.
her name is 'JULIANNE IWERSEN NIEMANN'. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

Nobody wants to use Bing or edge
I hardly see any users with complaints about Google, only the government... we don't like using Bing anyways and don't know of any other platform that can match TH-cam
and chrome > safari, google workspace competes well with Microsoft office suite especially bc they have cloud storage
... which is because google has a monopoly and actively prevents other companies and projects from growing.
@@MilkywayWarrior1618 or other companies just aren't good enough. There are alternatives but they are no bueno
All the time I see plenty who complain about Google. You must be limited to your bubble
@@sauceokay ... because they don't have the resources to grow
4:55 absolutely not. The price will remain the same just developers takes back more. Happened with games too. At first EGS (Epic's store) tried to claim that their 12% share will make games cheaper compared to Steam's 20-30%, yet games just got more and more expensive regardless. Not to mention Epic itself has basically a monopoly in game engines and usually takes 5% of any sale of any game using their engine anywhere.
1. Steam is the market leader for games distribution on PC.
2. Steam doesn't allow games to be cheaper on other stores.
3. Publishers won't reduce the price for perceived value. Epic did discounts on games where the publishers didn't lose anything and they were not happy.
What she said is very true the key point to everything over here is that Google is already a big ecosystem financially and technologically
The US loves monopolies and duopolies, look at Apple, Boeing, GM, Ford, Stellantis, P&G, Johnson & Johnson and etc… they don’t want too many competitions.
behind that is usually corruption, just saying.
Except for Boeing none of the companies you mentioned are active in a mono- or duopol market
Basically the same as China and any other country.......😢😢
Every country needs more competition.....
Clue: none of these are monopolies. Everyone has a choice to buy an Iphone, a Ford - or buy a product made by COMPETITORS. So remember, educate yourself by reading, THINKING and then writing. In that order.
Apple is not a monopoly. Boeing is not a monopoly. GM and ford are not duopoly. Wtf is this comment.
Google on the other hand is - in terms of ad providing. And they are undercutting other ad providers.
The fact that Google is trying to be like Samsung and Apple is hilarious AF!😂
The fact that Epic Games plays such a central role in attacking the "tolls" Google and Apple take for their services show that you need power to break power. Over time, an unregulated industry will always get worse. That's why we need good, honest government regulations here.
Just register/move the company to a different country, case closed.
They might incur financial losses due to taxations, but at least they'll save the company and it's vision.
Google is simply the US of the tech world.
*Internet, not tech
There’s no other search engine better than google. In iOS you can choose others like yahoo but ewww why would you do that? 😬
There is no other.... Cause google didn't allow others......
@@abhishekkulkarni2918Wdym they don't you can easily change

The government never like whatever products that's good for the citizens - therefore, it's always to break them up(alla: Facebook, Amazon 😢)
Google is mine, I own or co-own.
Google Chrome we developed too. It's logo actually refers to a "hologram" emitter.
We developed the Gmail app too with the NCIS TV team during the 1970s.
Thanks as always, D, for the insightful info.
I feel like the argument about Google's ability to rise to prominence during Microsoft's antitrust case is an argument in favor of divestment.
who does NOT use Google? all this is for the convenience of the consumer, that does NOT pay for all these great Google features. Google gives this access for FREE. that is not a monopoly.
How cute, you think it is free? 😆

United States market is heavily monopolized and nothing changes because the politicians also have huge shares in those companies.

i spout a lot of hate for Google but i just wish Google would return to being the best, a company becomes a monopoly when the quality of their products no longer correlates to their revenue
same kinda reasons they tried to break up Microsoft, and failed.
Disappointing report, apparently the story researchers and editors are unaware of the AT&T, Bell, Actel and Lucent divestitures, which are much more recent and far more relevant to the current tech monopoly discussions. And which did cause consumer pricing to fall sharply and create new markets for parallel market players (including Google Fi) to slide into the market. Does anyone believe free SMS plans would exist under the old AT&T Bell monopolies?
challenge: leave election politics out of one CNBC video

challenge: leave anti chn rhetoric. level: more than impossible.
Just because a breakup is hard to do, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t and can’t be done.
I understand Google being the default search engine on Android phones since Google owns and develops Android. Them paying Apple $20B goes to show how much more money they make out of the data that they collect.
So is CNBC ever going to drop a video where they answer their own question
Dude you only have this comment in this channel. Go watch some skibidi
Google ads from search will be surely threatened regardless if Google is broken up.
Plot twist: Google is government

No they're not. The Government has every right to tell Google how to do its job.
@@stanfordite1I only wish the government would self-regulate just as much. 🤦🏾♀️
I hate Google and Google Play for ruining my indie developer career. From the recent one: we were developing an auto clicker with gesture recording feature for 3 months in this summer, and got my whole account banned without explanation. The reason - supposedly they found hidden features that spy on users, but we are honest developers and we don't have anything like that!!!! 😡😡 Nobody knows what to do with this. Our appeals are answered only by robots.....
I haven’t used google chrome in years
All I ever needed to search for was a phase during highschool and college.
2:28 i like apple more and more
Google trying to appeal means breaking google is not just necessary but also can teach companies to see a vrry good example of what can happen to avoid the same problem.. Google is becoming insensitive at this point instead of doing better

US to Google: It's not me, it's you
I hope they split TH-cam from google(Alphabet). First let’s see if google will delete this post.
what I noticed on my google search these days is that it did not really give me what I was looking for.
have you tried bing? lmao
Indeed. I’ve been searching with Bing when that happens and I get what I’m looking for. Google search is nothing like it used to be.
older G search is better, now they redacted the search term to what they think what you are looking for. if what you want to find is different than what most people looking for, you are out of luck.
@@cybersteady unironically does find some things more easily
Question: Do you want to pay every time you do a search?
That's not the question. Bing operates similarly and doesn't charge searchers.
Not only are they in court, theyre liable to loose the very market theyre in court for to begin with
Don’t call it the only search engine on Samsung phones or iPhones. In fact, Google is the default one among 5 other engines
It's become too big to fail. The next best alternative is much worse even though Google's search results have been deteriorating. Same with many other social media and industries even.
Nothing is too big to fail.
And the highlight is they are using platform which is built by Google(alphabet) and blaming them for anti-trust
TH-cam was bought and integrated into the ecosystem
Google is unavoidable, Apple can try its hardest but it has always tended to the "rich" and Google focused on the common man

What about apple & Microsoft? They are worse
Apple is nowhere close to being a monopoly. It begins by looking at market share. Apple is 20% of the phone market the same as Samsung. You have to be over 90% to be considered a monopoly such as was the case in the case of Microsoft in the late 1990s.
Especially Apple
@@bruxi78230 traditionally companies are considered monopolies if they have 50% or greater of market share.
@@bruxi78230Microsofts case in the 90s was based on the share domestically in the US not global market share. And monopoly threshold is 50% or more so with that being considered Apple is definitely looking like a monopoly hindering the smartphone market in the US using anti consumer practices to deter it's users from switching
The DOJ antitrust boss worked for Microsoft before...
AT START WHAT IS THAT GRAPH MEASURING. IT'S JUST PERCENTAGE. BUT PERCENTAGE OF WHAT? SORRY FOR ALL CAPS. I HAVE EYESIGHT ISSUES.
"Companies pay TH-cam to show ads. People pay TH-cam NOT to show ads."Double dipping as it is.
But still you can watch it for free.
They did this with Standard Oil and see what happened. Things got worse.
Are you seriously complaining about US fuel prices? They're so heavily subsidized that it isn't even funny
So you're all for the Saudis controlling the world's oil then. Boy did that go well! Standard posed antitrust problems and to avoid rampant inflation, required regulation, which involved, inter alia, competition to maintain economic stability.
Google is better. We don't mind bc it's a proper search and advertising product!! Stop hating Bro 😂.
What a hit job this piece was..
if google leave America today, America will fall tomorrow
Gov sure not like monopolies but not for the good of people. They just worry for themself for those very big companies with too many workers can use those number to do something gov cannot control.
Hopefully this company will be split. Their irresponsible actions is a cause of massive problems for whole humanity. they do far more bad than good
It’s not that hard to change your browser though…

Their tech is undeniably powerful. And generally love the innovations.
Sadly I don't even know what google's products are outside of android, playstore, android, gmail, maps and search. I thought their cloud storage was one drive. I use none of google's products regularly. Whatever comes with my hardware I disable or delete on day one.
You're literally using it right now, who do you think owns TH-cam.
The majority of things you consume in the internet use Google in one way or another. Also don't even get me started on the amount of software that uses chromium.
@@warrenishuman5334 I've been computing a long time. While I may do youtube for a while. I've been on Tiktok and other platforms for a long time. My time on TH-cam is usually brief until I'm bored usually takes about 5 minutes. Sometimes longer. I'm working on projects so I need to rest my mind and activities for awhile. Google is not something I need to have a digital experience. I am also a linux user. So, I use a lot of open source software.
Ads, chrome, TH-cam, office, tv.
Im for Google, there is no other big company that actually shares its funds with people like youtubers and offers free and reliable products. Every big tech company collects data. Id rather it be Google
Would be nice to see them forced to divest either TH-cam or Android. Either make this a more open site again or free the Android Open-Source project and rid it of that massive data collection scheme.
Both TH-cam and android would die alone. TH-cam is a loss for Google and open source doesn't work without a hard (not firm) hand on the wheel.
The analyst may be advocating for Google instead of expliningtying arrangements that are illegal under antitrust laws.
I sure hope so.
