Only search/ads make money. The rest are negligible profit or no profit.

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.
