Yeah ok maybe it's all garbage now but they're making more money than ever.

Google is ripe to be supplanted, but all mega corps that could disrupt them are stale and stagnant and smell like investor class rot.

Goog can't fail it's SIGINT

Weird take.

You could same the same of any incumbent who's been an industry leader for a couple of decades... "they're ripe to be supplanted!".

Google has done a pretty great job of diversifying and building out an ecosystem though. As in, if you invented superior search today google would barely notice because everyone still uses chrome and android and is funnelled into google search. Google would have years to emulate that superior search before their user base was significantly impacted.

Weird take.

I think google is the best and has our best interests at heart. surely there must a reason we non genius minds can't understand as to why google made things the way they are.

All hail google, I would give my baby to google in the hopes they will turn them into a superhuman google baby

I'm not a fan of google at all, but that doesn't mean I can't acknowledge that they're not about to topple over.
