  ppl been saying this for the past decade. There is nothing even close on the horizon to replace Google ads or search. Even if Chat GPT gains some traction for search, which is unlikely, it's not a threat at all to Google's mobile ads dominance. Despite endless promotion for the past 12 years, hardly anyone uses Duck Duck Go.

  couldn't agree more. From another point of view, it's time to end the dominance of company G, it has been killing the internet for too long: google ads are now just G tax.

  The iPhone was instantly taking market share from BlackBerry from release. By 2011 they already had ~20% of the market share. The same market share they hold today. Google still hold a dominate position in Search with ~85% of the market share. The same market share they had for the past decade. No one is taking the market from them. Their Ads business has more competition that every before, yet it still a growing business. The only company that has taken significant share from that has been Meta and that has slowed significantly for the past 3-4 years now. So who is going to destroy Google's business like the iPhone did to BlackBerry? You can't build a significant Ad business overnight and Ads aren't going anywhere. Google has more 1 billion users application than any other company in the world most of them are contain Ad space for them to sell. The only threat to Google is Meta and again Meta hasn't been a threat for the past 3-4 years.
