Who still uses google or their products anyway?
4 comments

A huge number of people. In 2023 they made around $80 billion of profit on $300 billion of revenue. Their ad network, search engine (Google), web browser (Chrome), mobile OS (Android), videos website (YouTube) and email service (Gmail) are all either leaders in user numbers or close to being (actually I think they might be #1 in all of those categories...)
You do. And everyone else.

Google has never made money on "their products", really. They make money on ads, and those ads are everywhere

I'd imagine quite a few, given their ad revenue.
99% of people. I die a little bit inside every time I see my friends use google search.
