Goog has search, Gmail, YT and Play store, GCP. All massive assets. Not all of them require ads. YT has a ad free version for subscription. The escape pods are there. I would pay $2 a month for my gmail. If pushed (I would be annoyed). But it looks like as of today digital ads is still a good business |

So the article was right that Goog is all ads, but those don’t seem to be drying up.
I expect that maybe ad views are dropping but they just turn up the prices to compensate. I don’t think we get usage numbers out of them, just that they bring in more revenue and make more profit.
Maybe they are just squeezing a shrinking customer base, like cable. But the article doesn’t cover that.
