I cannot disagree with your attitude more. This company is saying they have an existing threat to their ongoing operations that _will_ be fatal, that they are unsure will ever be solved. This is fundamentally different than saying ad blockers could impact Google's business.
In a way, their honesty is unexceptional because they are required by law to be honest about their risks. But the level of risk is not usual.
- hueving 10y agoWide spread ad blocking would be fatal or nearly fatal to Google. The loss of the vast majority of their income and the resulting contraction that comes with that would probably tear apart the company.
- rudolf0 10y agoNear-universal ad blocking (across all kinds of devices) would be fatal to so many different businesses and business models. Revenue primarily derived via ads seems kind of unsustainable at this point. And the same may even eventually be true of TV commercials.
