YouTube (mostly)
internet service
electronic mail

Basically, a slightly lesser botnet than Microsoft.

Google has a variety of income streams just like every other big company out there.

and?
we're talking about things that make Google money, not that some faggot from 4chan considers good

Google also runs the massive private information vacuum that is Google Adsense. They use that data to feed you their shit ads. Thank god for AdBlock.

It's really not a very good search engine. It's a "suggest" and SEO engine.

Youtube is alright, usually. Their R&D is pretty sweet.

name a thing that was technological better back in 2005

Change is bad anon. I enjoyed beating it off in the 90s to jpegs with 5ppi that I waited the whole day to download. Then these faggots showed up and gave me 1080p loli hentai that I can either stream or download in a few minutes on my 8Tb NAS I use for all my porn needs.

That's why amerifats are so happy, they're stuck with '00s speeds and infrastructure.

What? Search engine keeping them afloat? Not really, advertisement infrastructure is keeping them afloat. Actually not just keeping them afloat it has launched them to the stars, everything else just traps to feed more people into their chain.

Most tech companies are built on one trick but Google's trick has changed since their foundation.

Did you read the OP?

>>56913173
The search engine hasn't been surpassed because it has been adopted and is totally embedded in commerce infrastructure.

They also have youtube. But for a one trick pony that's a hell of pony.

Do you use duckduckgo or bing? Or do you use google. Think about it.

Google is one of the most diversified tech giants. the amount of fundamental R&D they invest in is ridiculous. most of their investment is in fundamental AI research. they broke a long-standing milestone for the field this year when DeepMind beat the best human go/baduk player in the world, which had been a goal for ~2 decades

Botnet aside (which is an inevitable consequence of what they do) they have a very complete ecosystem where all their services are tied together and very well integrated. Having a Google account means you can easily access and share files, 'likes' etc. across devices. If you wanted, you could pretty much use Google-only services and never feel like you are missing out on anything. Facebook being the exception that confirms the rule.
Giving their services for 'free' also means it is accessible to everybody.
