That is some very, very back of the envelope math that ignores a lot of factors. For example, the idea that Google will indefinitely suspend promotions is preposterous. And the idea that taking exceptional financial numbers from the beginning of the pandemic and multiply by 4 to get a meaningful "annualized" figure only makes sense in a 4th grade math textbook. I hate click bait headlines that use exceptionally exaggerated facts.
