"tens of millions of webmasters live on the mercy of one single company" AND "When the lie is too huge or too ridiculous people will believe it."

Consider this hypothetical situation, 100's million of Webmasters are so peed off with nasty, greedy Google and all the others "stealing their content".

They all decide to ban Google, Yahoo, Bing or whoever.

Where will these 100's million of Webmasters then derive their traffic from?

Whether I like Google, Yahoo, Bing or whoever and their business practices is totally irrelevant. They represent reality as it is. I, and everyone else live with it because no alternative exists.

You can wish for a utopian or idealistic world all you want but absolute reality is what you have to deal with.

Reality is Google. Deal with it. Life's unfair.
