I don't see how Google would willingly get rid of the goodwill and data of normal users like that. Most people don't know about the sheer site of Googles ad revenue. Also, Google will be the player that shows ads in Google answers, so the moat for ads will become bigger instead of smaller in my mind. Do you have a source on Google ads dying? Last I heard was that it was very profitable for alphabet.

    They don't give a monkey's fruity fart about goodwill. They're rent-seeking oligopolists. They'll squeeze their users as hard as they think they can get away with.

    Exactly, they don't care about users, they just care about money.

    Examples? See what they're doing with Gemini. Even Pro (paying) users will be downgraded to Gemini Flash in less than one month.
