> but Google makes somewhere in the realm of 99% of it's money on advertising

almost 15% of google's revenue in q4 2017 was hardware/cloud/subscriptions. there's possibly a bump in hardware since it's q4, but 'in the realm of 99%' is not close at all. and this is trending upwards.

(yes yes, googler here)

Thanks for the correction! 84% of statistics are made up on the spot, and I'll admit, I didn't check current numbers before this comment. Mind you, I don't think the percentage significantly changes the value of my point.

I do wonder if that statistic will change enough for advertising not to be the core of Google's business though.
