How many people would Google actually need to supply humanity with targeted ads?
I suspect that ultimately, most are just there to out-innovate would be upstarts that might, perhaps, take some of their pie. But this doesn't have to go on forever, there already is the precedent of Google not dying at all from utterly failing with their Facebook counter. And that's just one example. I believe that the "productivity crisis" is actually much deeper than it seems because so many parts are glossed over by zero sum games taking up some of the overcapacity.
- lumost 5y agoIf double click/search is a true monopoly google may not need any further work to sustain itself and could push new costs to their customers. I won’t venture a head count figure for google without R&D but it’s probably a tiny fraction of current head count.
