why would you expect it to get better if Google is broken up?
Google has a massive conflict of interest; it both sells ads to SEO’ed websites, and ranks searches. Their incentive is for you to go to the pages with the most of their ads possible. Even a company with revenue purely from ads on the search page has less terrible incentives.

or at least no rhetorical questions looking for a circle -jerk

Anybody who gives the slightest fuck about finding an alternative is already aware of kbin/Lemmy.

Embrace, extend, extinguish is a very particular kind of monopolistic behavior. you’re just listing people buying out their competitors. which to be clear, is also bad.

Embrace, extend, extinguish is when you have an open standard, which a company nominally embraces, and then adds unique features to their version that only interoperates with those using their product. Apple and SMS is a current example, since their reactions only work on iPhone. the Wikipedia article has plenty of examples from Microsoft. it’s also quite likely that it’s exactly what Facebook plans to do with activitypub.

the phrase is embrace, extend, extinguish, and Microsoft has been doing it for years
