Google is not just a company. It is a 2 trillion dollar entity. Even if Google search entirely fails, it will still persist. At this point, you may as well say, "The wind needs to be ended." You don't end the wind. The wind already won. It will outlive you, me, and our children. What we can do is protect against it. We can deal with it. We can contain it. We can redirect it and repurpose it to be helpful. But ending it? That doesn't happen. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago IBM fell. Ford fell. Facebook (the social media site, not the company) fell. Yahoo fell. Sure, they haven't stopped existing, but their relevance is nowhere near their peak. There's no such thing as "too big to fall". permalink fedilink source parent [–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 years ago When people say things like this, I wonder if they understand how impossible it is. The King isn't just a powerful man. He is a divine being. I mean money is just as made up as the divine right of kings, and it will end one day. permalink fedilink source parent [+] AhismaMiasma@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] GoogleSellsAds@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago Most people here have a device in their pocket with either Google hardware or Google software.
