I read the financial figures last week or so. They are earning more money than ever.
I think Google knows search is over and that they know AI will bring something new to that game. So they are perhaps maintaining and not pouring too much into making the product better.
- bediger4000 2y agoDo they really know search is over (and what are the consequences of that!?!) or are they just doing the accountant/finance major thing of looking at profit and loss and "cost centers", then maximizing the profit? I bet it's the latter.

- fuzztester 2y agoit is not that they are not caring to make it better. it is that they are making it steadily worse, to make more and more profits. don't ask me for proof, or why or how, because I won't answer, because that's a huge rabbit hole, but with tons of proof right here on hn, as well as on the rest of the net. just ... google for it. /irony intended
