Idk, but the drop in revenue is due to companies (eg coca-cola), no longer wanting to pay alphabet to have their ads displayed on alphabet's platforms, not so much as a drop in the amount of people clicking ads. (I say no longer wanting, there's still companies wanting obviously, demand for a spot on the platform is just lower). And it's mostly just the effects of monetary tightening, and companies trying to prepare for tight times.
- taeric 4y agoI think this gets really close to the actual story. A ton of the money in all faangs, is between the big companies. Google paying to be the default search engine. Microsoft doing the same. Everyone paying to be the top Google result. How many stupid large payments are between the big players directly?
