It will not hurt their revenue. There's no way any of these companies haven't thought about how to increase revenue with what they're doing.

Just because we haven't seen how yet, doesn't mean it isn't planned.

And it will not cost an "ungodly amount of money" to process these requests. Ofc Google will cache answers, because alot of what people ask, are the same. Then maybe the info can be updated sometimes, but ofc they won't do it every time.

I think you have entirely too much faith in corporate executives.

Yeah, maybe. I'm just not amazed anymore how they'll always figure out a way to screw customers over with new kind of ads.

I just think this will be the same.

Yeah, if there's one thing gigantic corporations are bad at it's making money
