Every google product exists to encourage people to see more ads, even if he product isn't showing the ads.

I encourage anyone to point to a google product that isn't either selling ads or trying to get people to spend more time on the internet so google can sell them more ads.

Drive/Docs/Meet. Cloud. Nest. These are a few examples of (though far from the only) products completely orthogonal to ads.

All of Verily, Calico, and Google Health, and Fit/FitBit.

The work I do on AI-based medical device infrastructure has nothing to do with ads.

How many people who are active users of these products Bing something when they need to look it up?

[NateEag]

I do, by way of DuckDuckGo.

Granted, I only use those products because my employer uses them internally.

Drive/docs absolutely contributes to google selling ads since it brings you to their home site.

I'll give you cloud and nest though.

[Xorlev]

How do you figure? There's no offramps from Drive or Docs into Search as far as I know. Are you saying that because they're subdomains, it somehow works to get you to ads?

Docs and Drive want to sell you storage and collaboration capabilities. Not ads.

Any product that leads to people spending more time on the internet increases the number of ads google sells.
