It would literally take you 5 mins to set up your wife with a competing client for her needs.

Sure it's 'sticky' at least a little, but it's not a moat. A moat is a show stopper like they own you.

Just like it would take 10 seconds to buy her a Pepsi instead of her preferred Coke.

Would you?

Stickyness absolutely helps. But it won't get you anywhere close to a MAG7 operating margin. I think we are already seeing the start of price wars. I cancelled my ChatGPT subscription once i realized Gemini Pro was included in my Google Workspace and never looked back for a second.

Coke doesn't change their recipe every year.

If you could move the taste with the ease of OpenAI's Export Data tool? Sure, why not?

[kortilla]

No, because that’s a product you buy for flavor and Pepsi is a different flavor.

[Staross]

If it taste as good and is cheaper, sure.

10 seconds to buy my wife a Pepsi? Why that estimate seems quite absurd.

First I would have to walk 10 miles into town. Then I would have to locate a purveyor of goods that carried Pepsi-Cola products...

Then I reckon we would spend a fort-minute dickering over price.

And finally trudging back home with my Pepsi product in tow.

Why, I'd be lucky to accomplish this herculean task in the very same evening.

Idk, habit and the devil you know are powerful as hell. Google has enshittified search nearly beyond imagination, but it's still where the vastly overwhelming majority of people search.

What free search engine today performs significantly better? No seriously Google sucks and I want an alternative. Do I need to pay for Kagi to get decent search?
