This reminds me of Walmarts squeezing strategy with all the manufacturers. Business with us at the price we say or out of business.

But ultimately that strategy is good for the consumer right?

In this context, if Google is going to give me the recipe without having to scroll through the story, that seems like a win to me.

The ad-revenue driven Internet of web 2.0 is finally dead and I'm not sure I'm all that sad.

Yep, this is exactly why some companies simply don't work with Walmart.

This is tough for the manufacturer, but great for the consumer.

I think it's a good tradeoff.
