Holly.. you made me understand why vertical anti-trust is a thing. (I'm slow..).

A single company, google, gives a photo-service for free, while making enormous bread through ads. On its own the free service would be dead on arrival but now it's sustained by the ads branch of the company, making it unbeatable. Then pure-photo-service competitors die and you get a monopoly.
