That example of the advertising costs seems to be a version of the "tragedy of the commons" scenario described in economics textbooks.

Right, yes, that's interesting. Just like the tragedy of the commons, if everyone acted in their common interest, none of them would advertise with Google, but because they're all acting in their own interests, they all do, and Google profits. Thanks Neale!
