Yahoo vs Google
Don’t let the trappings fool you, both companies are in the ad sales business. Both originally thought that it was cheaper to pay others to make content (Yahoo’s index / Google’s search) but along the way, Yahoo decided it was more cost-effective to make their own content. That’s why they’re a media company.
Which begs the question: Why does Microsoft want to own a media company?

I like how this counts as “uncategorized.”
