Guidlines

• no video posts are allowed

• No memes. Not even surreal ones. Post your memes on [email protected] instead

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.

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.

Eh, they're turning Youtube into that and yet people buy premium so I would be careful to make any such predictions.
