It seemed that some folks in another thread felt I should start a new thread, and one new member's post informed my soul that ignoring that post would be super impolite, so I am going to give this a try.
And I write "give this a try" because I am really not up-to-date on all this search engine stuff, BUT that is the key, to my mind. I am just a simple folk like hundreds of thousands of others out there and if I could see a way to understand the influence of search engines on the Net economics without having to do weeks of careful study, I would be sort of thankful to whomever was able to cause that to happen.
So what came to mind in that other thread and I will repeat here is some sort of chart that would be easy to understand with minimum study that could show very clearly how changes in policy in certain companies also influenced the small Net entrepreneurs.
At least it seems that is a major theme of many posts in some of the other threads.
And how many minutes/hours defines "minimum study" is not clear to myself, for those that might ask that question.
I also made note of the idea in the other thread that there might already be some sort of that style of chart stuff on some other site or around here in this site, but I hadn't done the proper homework to find it and if that is the case an apology is forthcoming from this lazy human.
I've just got this gut feeling that if the average gal/bloke on the Net can't understand the basics of the influence of decisions made by the Giants in this industry those average blokes/gals are simply going to give up.
Of course, there is also that style thinking that this is all nonsense out of my brain and an example might be does the average driver of that fancy automobile actually know how it works? No they don't, but with regard to economics, when it breaks the average folks get really angry and join forces and do weird things like go swimming in some executive's swimming pool after smashing their way in. Those average folks also start smashing up other things.
When that car breaks the average folks just take it to a mechanic, but when there is no gas to be had at an almost normal price the only person to turn to is an economics mechanic, and that mechanic can't stop riots in the streets. Maybe the economics mechanic can explain what went wrong, but can't do too much about it.
Now it seems that in many posts around this site there are a bunch of smaller Net entrepreneurs indicating that something might be wrong, but I think it isn't so easy to understand what y'all are all up in arms about, so I ask about that chart that might make it easier to understand what's going on.
Just how do policy decisions made by the Big Players influence you smaller players? I mean, a kind of summary. And it seems a chart could do that style summary rather than some long bit of writing like this very post where I have already written way too much.
