Internet giants are not doing great on actual revenue.
Google will always be an unquestioned leader just like IBM dominates the desktop PC market!
I no longer use “Google”
I use Duck, Duck, Go.
Starve the Beast
Something that can only hasten Google’s collapse is the full on SJW environment created within Google.
They can’t have more than a small handful of competent coders remaining in their employment pool. And those are probably being hunted down to be sent to HR because “competence is racist” or some such idiocy.
Google won’t die. It will use its immense wealth to buy other companies, which in turn will create more wealth.
Maybe they could limit viewer loss on YT by not taking such a doctrinaire and ideological view of "community standards". They are driving some of their best content creators to other platforms. In the end YT will be left with only public domain and pirated content.
Would love nothing morenthan to see Google, Facebook, Twitter and You Tube collapse. They are a wicked empire right along with Disney.
Facebook will die a similar death. I rarely eve respond to ads on Facebook. Zuckerberg will loose his billions and I’ll just smile.
Um no. Google makes it money by selling information about its users who often don't even know they are using their services ...
I can’t decide which is more evil...
Android. It’s a Google Product and is the OS for most non-iPhones. Google will crash when Microsoft and Apple Crash. Don’t get your hopes up.
Cool. I use Opera browser and bing for a search engine. I use the ad-block with Opera.
I use software to block ads as much as possible but generally, the biggest ad-block tool I use is...I ignore ads. I could count on one hand the number of ads I’ve clicked on.
I hate’em that much.
How does Google make money from ad revenue if visitors to websites have the ability to block ads?
Google got dumped for Duck Duck Go. Chrome got dumped for Slimjet.
Between Ghostery, AdBlock-Plus and Reader View*, I see very few ads.
My current pet peeve is web sites that have auto-start video and/or audio. I’m searching for a solution to this but haven’t found one yet. Suggestions are most welcome.
* This browser ad-on is awesome. Check it out.
Now fakebook is putting ads into the middle of various “featured” videos. I immediately scroll past as soon as the “ad starts soon” blurb pops up, or if an ad starts before the video.
I think many forms of (anti) social media are dying, and are grasping for income of any sort.
Android users will keep Google going.
Of course not
goog and fb and amazon make their monies through information, selling to governments, NSA, clouds and police states.
