I agree, Google got rich by having the best product. Now they are staying rich because people will stick with the default as long as there isn't a head-and-shoulders about the rest better option.

Google’s window of having the best product closed over a decade ago.

Payola schemes been keeping them afloat since mobile took off. App stores would have become the new default search for a solution engine.

Chatgpt is a parody.

Some people need precise answers not propaganda.

no. There were better search engines (altavista, yahoo). Google was the most agressive.
