Please remember the context of this discussion.

They point is that Googles revenue comes form one source and they haven't been able to find another just yet as users are moving to mobile. The growth you see is based on a revenue model made a long time ago not on their current performances which are to say the least as embarrassing as anything MS have done over the years.

This should be concerning investors in google more than anything. Cause what do they do when most people are on mobile?

Google owns mobile advertisement, as well as mobile search. They are in an excellent position for the future.
Really?

Why aren't they making any money with it now then?

Because the entire industry is a shell game?
