I don’t see how Google would willingly get rid of the goodwill and data of normal users like that. Most people don’t know about the sheer site of Googles ad revenue. Also, Google will be the player that shows ads in Google answers, so the moat for ads will become bigger instead of smaller in my mind. Do you have a source on Google ads dying? Last I heard was that it was very profitable for alphabet.

They don’t give a monkey’s fruity fart about goodwill. They’re rent-seeking oligopolists. They’ll squeeze their users as hard as they think they can get away with.
Google and Microsoft are profitable without ai. So I’d assume the bubble popping will not crash them
Exactly, they are too big to fail like the banks at this point. They provide too many essential services people need.
Ok, but you should still be migrating off of them.
Yes, but I don’t see floods of users switching to better privacy options any time soon
And they’d probably get bailed out at our expense: too big to face consequences.
They don’t pay that much tax to where I am from, so if the US wants to do so, have fun.
Not crash them, but they’ll probably need to make Gmail/Outlook into a paid service in order to cover all the costs.
Google Ads is slowly dying, because people just ask AI instead of searching and navigating websites, and that was Google’s biggest revenue.

Exactly, they don’t care about users, they just care about money.
Examples? See what they’re doing with Gemini. Even Pro (paying) users will be downgraded to Gemini Flash in less than one month.
