Imagine being banned by ALL of them. You are cut out from a large chunk of the Internet. the only thing saving you from being unable to access common internet services are those that dared to defy that monopoly (DDG, Mozilla and all those nameless folks working nights and weekends on projects you don't even know that exist until you become an internet pariah)

Oh, my company has been there. Our DNS was blacklisted because someone spoofed our emails via GoDaddy. Well, Google blocked the DNS IP, and any emails we sent or tried to receive went into the ether. We also had #1 search results go missing because of it, a nightmare it was.

I've since resolved the issue, lord did that take a chunck of our traffic away. Government bodies also could not access us, which hurt a lot!
