It should be said that Taobao's ban on Baidu reflects the internet's response to the huge profits of search engines. Taobao builds an e-commerce platform, invests a large amount of funds in advertising, attracting merchants to post valuable product purchase information. The value of this information first forms the property basis of Taobao.com. Baidu and Google easily plunder Taobao's information through web crawlers. Due to the reproducibility of knowledge and information, Taobao, Sina, Sohu, NetEase, People's Network, and Tianya Forum content service providers offer endless wealth to search engines.
In our practice of crowdsourcing, we point out that the generation of knowledge consumes a great deal of time and economic cost for the original creator. Therefore, when people articulate their knowledge and form web pages, they inherently contain certain value and utility. According to Google's latest data published in July 2008: In 1998, the number of pages indexed by Google was 26 million, in 2000 it was 1 billion, and by 2008, this number reached 1 trillion. Therefore, the page ownership N of Google increases exponentially, while the cost C grows linearly. We have formed the following diagram.

In fact, Baidu also conforms to this graph. If there were no force on the Internet responding to their huge profits, perhaps in the next ten years, Baidu and Google could buy the entire world. However, the Internet has generated balancing methods; first, some websites start to prohibit Baidu and Google from crawling actions, second, more and more websites demand commercial interest sharing with Baidu and Google. Lawsuits filed by publishing companies against Google and Taobao banning Baidu indicate that the evolutionary forces behind the Internet have begun to raise their swords against search engines.
In extreme cases, if all Internet websites banned Baidu and Google or all websites required profit-sharing with them, Baidu and Google would inevitably suffer heavy losses. Since each Internet website has different needs, such an extreme situation will not occur. But actions similar to Taobao's ban will increase, continuously hitting Baidu and Google's profits. We also pointed out in the Internet Evolution Theory that the demise of Baidu and Google will not come from these bans but from the arrival of the three-dimensional era of the Internet.
