There are costs other than monetary associated with doing things. Just because you are not giving someone cash directly does not mean it is "free". Those semantics aside: - Maps has ads in the form of sponsored results all over the map. - Android is only a decently functional platform with Play services installed, which includes ads. I don't have an Android phone handy but I'm pretty sure there's up-sells included in quite a few places, I just can't name any right now. - Chrome is a browser you cannot use for its primary purpose without seeing ads. - Workspace is a directly paid-for product. Google is an ad company. Essentially all of its products are supported by advertising, and it's slightly odd to suggest they are not. |
