That opinion is typical of the overoptimistic tech guy that drinks the Silicon Valley Koolaid.
The ONLY incentive for Google is amount of revenue, and that means ads.
They are very good to market themselves as a friendly company that cares about engineering more than advertising, but that's Branding and Marketing! And you fell for it.
- drusepth 9y agoThe comment you're responding to is referring to Larry and Sergey's motivations, while you're referring to Google (as a company)'s motivations. You both could very well be right. It's (almost always) in a company's best interest to focus on profit. That profit, however, is very often used as a means for the people in charge of that company to march towards their personal motivations, which may not always align 100% with the company (but often overlap enough for a mutual benefit).
