I don't understand why you'd want to advocate for creating a new monopoly. Having a rich, diverse market of competing search engines would be the ideal.
That's part of my point. We already tried a rich, diverse market of competing search engines and it still ended up in a monopoly. In fact I would argue it was inevitable.
At least this way the site owners get to choose their monopoly master. So in a way it's democratized. If Google can be blocked successfully (big IF), then Kagi can as well if they change their tune.
