Those aren't key factors. They are petty nonsense.

> * Everyone hates ads.

Yet ads are everywhere.

> since there is too much competition that doesn't rely on ad revenue

What competition? What is the challenge to google search, youtube, chrome, etc?

> and too many companies trying to block ads.

Is that a joke? Google's problem is too many companies want to buy ads. But ads are never going to disappear. Actually, ads are only going to increase on the internet. More video ads especially.

> * Google doesn't have a solid revenue stream besides ads.

If you're argument is ads are going to disappear, then I guess you have a point.

> EVERYONE freakin hates ads

Right. And the article said the same nonsense you are saying. But it said that in 2017 and guess what? Turns out the article was wrong.

You just have 1 point. Nobody likes ads. Duh. But if that mattered, google wouldn't even exist.
