It's great to know that so many people at Google work "from the inside" to keep it this way; and are absolutely not bullshitting themselves or anything.

Thomas 🔭🕹️ (thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io)'s status on Tuesday, 03-Oct-2023 03:55:25 JST Thomas 🔭🕹️ @mikeblake @jnv I'm slightly surprised that Apple (who would have the capital and know-how to get into it) hasn't gone into the search engine business--perhaps they have run the numbers and ad-driven search engines (while preserving privacy as with their other products) just aren't profitable for them.
