I thought that was pretty clear in my previous comment, what part was unclear?
> A growing part of Google's business relies on b2b transactions. Are you also concerned that you're going to suddenly have to subscribe to search?
No, because search is profitable and already explicitly data-milked for most of it's worth. I'm concerned about the data collected in unprofitable services just because they are not profitable and claim to not have every iota of data extracted from them.
So I'm concerned that Google Fonts, ajax.googleapis.com and so on will start to be milked for data just like search is.
- joshuamorton 7y agoWhy are you so confident that these services are unprofitable? You're already assuming the main profit source would be second order effects (analytics value add). Why not go further and assume that there already are second order effects that make fonts profitable. For example, more internet users means more profit for Google, and accessible cross language fonts lead to more web users.
