"In 2022, Google made upward of $30 billion in revenue from the sale of ad space on publishers’ websites. That was six times the digital advertising revenue of all U.S. news publications, combined. In a functioning market, no one would expect the middleman to make more than the content creator."

Do they think the only "publishers" are "us news publications" or just purposely misleading readers?

Nothing is free, if they did that Tax's would have to raise to cover the costs. Plus this is not for busineses but for the Government Department(s) themselves and Quangos.
