Google monopoly is crushing Trip Adviser and Expedia.... on purpose

Shares of Expedia and TripAdvisor plummeted Thursday after the travel booking sites disappointed Wall Street with weak third-quarter results, with both citing Google’s search algorithms for their earnings misses.
Why?
Because Google got into the travel business.
quote:
Both stocks were down sharply in Thursday trading. Expedia shares dropped a whopping 27.4 percent while TripAdvisor fell by 22.4 percent.
Google has long faced accusations that it engages in anti-competitive behavior by prioritizing its own services in its search results. The consumer review site Yelp recently said that Google’s business practices not only hurt competitors but also consumers by depriving them of choice.
Google Travel......

Google can CRUSH any business or political figure they want.

Amazon does this too

Are more people using Google or individual airline and hotel brand sites for booking? To me, it seems like the latter stepping up their game of late has done more to hurt these consolidator type sites.

Been calling for Amazon and Google to face antitrust actions on here for a long time. The beta NPCs come out in droves to downvote.

I just performed a search for best restaurants in my city.
Google result was first, then TripAdvisor second, then Yelp was third.
Maybe TripAdvisor and Yelp would benefit by not requiring you to download their app in order to read the damn reviews?
