Google is not a search engine. It's an advertising service. Their whole business model revolves around a critical mass of eyeballs, which flock to free services. This will never happen for the average user.

Shareholders have different plans for infinite growth.
I wonder what happens when the time finally comes and they realize infinite growth is impossible. Black Friday II?
If anyone ever figures out how to charge people service fees in the afterlife .... there will be service fees in the afterlife
As the saying goes- if the service is free, you're not the customer.
I'm pretty sure it's a search engine...
Por que no los dos?
Ostensibly yeah, the product being offered is a search engine. Realistically, the product being offered is a combination of your data, and your eyes/attention.
yeah the days of Google search being king or long past over
Eh, they're turning Youtube into that and yet people buy premium so I would be careful to make any such predictions.
It's not just an advertising service. I can also get info from it as well. Like if I ask how many national parks are in Wyoming, or is it ok for me to brush my dog's fur if it's been 2 weeks since his surgery.. those 2 search results did not show me advertisements of camping tents, or a dog brush on Amazon, it gave me the info i wanted right off the bat. So you are wrong
It's an advertising service, the way they serve ads is through attracting people to free searches.
It's much like how a magazine is actually an ad service, but you can open a magazine to any random page and have a chance of not seeing an ad.
Or like how over the air television is actually an ad service, but you have a chance of turning it on at any random moment and not seeing an ad.
He's not describing how Google attracts YOU. He's taking about what Google actually sells, which is ads.
