That is a lot of money for a search engine that barely works.
It barely works because it makes a lot of money
No, no. It makes aot of money because it barely works!
But that's how it's supposed to work, so it's working just fine? Amazing, actually.
They make it work poorly so you’re more likely to click on the ads. True story.
Suddenly I don't feel at all ashamed of blocking ads. 😮
You never were freeloader lmao
Where's my 'invisible hand of the free market' guys?
That's literally it though
Really shows how much can be made from handling search queries doesn’t it.
Hell, I'll spread word of mouth $75,000 a year.
Welcome to a mid level sales position.
Even though I use iOS devices, Google isn’t my search engine on these devices. I can understand an organization like Mozilla needing the money from Google, but when we’re talking about a trillion dollar company, I cannot have the same understanding.
Like corporations would pass on literally tens of billions of dollars (yearly) just because they are big.
Unless Apple had it's own competing search service they have no reason to pass on that much money unless it becomes a huge liability.
I guess you’re right. And maybe most is their users are fine (or prefer) to use Google search, so that’s even a plus for Apple.
Why?
How would iPhone users feel if Google wasn't available on their phone?
