*Or Amazon

  Much more likely, I think. When online advertising crashes (<5 years, starting already), Google is going to struggle. Amazon is still going to be making a lot of money.

    why do you think online advertising will crash? I own a metalworking shop, and I have a monthly budget just for google... its the more effective way to bring customers...

      Video advertising is starting to see a drop in CPM that's going to lead to a leaning of producers, which is going to have a cyclical effect on Google's revenue. Banner ads have already bottomed out for the most part, but you can see with Google's most recent search changes that they're struggling to monetize. Compare how much ads stood out in search results ~5 years ago to the incredibly minor [ad] badge that appears on current search results. Google would not have done that if they didn't have to.
