Aol was king for about 7 years, then Yahoo for 7 years, and then Google for 16 years and counting...hard to see Google going away for many reasons. Their browser (Chrome) is by FAR the most used in the world. Default search engine for most browsers. Their email (gmail) and video (youtube) and cloud/docs... they are just embedded everywhere except in the social media segment. Remember when Google+ tried about 10 years ago? They were one of the first brands to add a "plus" to their name, but that's about all the legacy that remains.

Industry may be more mature now. Might make a difference.

Doubt it.

For real I entered my career when IBM was being hobbled by MSFT.
I was very much of the opinion that MSFT was going to rule the tech world for half a century.
Even when I saw other startups innovate, MSFT would use their market power to make their own “me too” option win.
That’s how they killed WordPerfect, Presentation, and Lotus 1-2-3
Then the web came.
And they were dethroned, even while Europe was prosecuting them for antitrust. That case became a farce before it finished.
Only then did i internalize that it’s a pattern. I can’t predict what comes next and dethrones the current paradigm, but it will happen.

I see Facebook imploding eventually. It’s a social network that has lost its youth audience so the demographics actively using it will literally die off.
But Google and YouTube…hard to imagine what could replace those but I guess it’ll happen eventually. Maybe only when folks stop using the browser for mobile device alternatives.

YouTube is already a drastically different platform. TikTok has been eating it’s lunch in some ways.

It can't, not entirely. They aren't direct competitors.
