"Google isn't a tech company. They are an advertising company that happens to use tech to deliver their ads."
- lovich 8y agoI don't know that this is an incorrect statement when looking at how they act. They are only a tech company in that they have decided that tech is their competitive advantage for the ads business. If google found out tomorrow that focusing on underwater basket weaving gave them a 10% bump in ad revenue over focusing on tech, does anyone here really think they would stay focused on tech?
- bigiain 8y agoI guess that was my (badly made) point. It's not that the comment about Netflix isn't _true_, but that in the context of this discussion it's not particularly useful.
