i think the top tech companies are in cahoots with each other. there's no reason why microsoft and ******** can't co exist. microsoft is software on all pc's and ******** gathers data

big business will sell their soul to the companies for data. data promises to make them more rich so companies do it but the data companies take more

big business and the tech companies are in cahoots with each other. big tech wants global. liberalism lends itself more toward global. that's why they're all intertwined

you have a point in there. but it's infrastucture to the internet
Underwater cables are the invisible force driving the modern internet, with many in recent years being funded by internet giants such as ********, Google, Microsoft and Amazon. They carry almost all our communications and yet – in a world of wireless networking and smartphones – we are barely aware that they exist.

And you think people won't flock to that when Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft tell them to? Remember that everything in your news feed, the media, YouTube, is handed to you by their algorithms. All they have to do is convince you that it's the best thing since sliced bread and everybody is making a fortune in it and loving their new virtual life. Like they did with COVID, NFTs, crypto in the past 2 years.

We are essentially all predictable addicted slaves and once the tech catches up the majority of humanity will live in the metaverse. Think of it as the next step of the internet.
No there aren't any projects like that. Just a couple of pixel skinner box "games" where everyone is trying to create their own "metaverse". It's a nothingburger/rugpull.

No, they don't "rely on Google", that stuff is infrastructure that Google et al built, and if they go under tomorrow that infrastructure is still going to be there, and some other company or gov't is going to buy it during the fire sale.

Well yeah thats because cryptocurrency is all scam chit. But by the same token, people are willingly trading hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of crypto tokens to buy land in even this chit tier games (e.g. Sandbox, Decentraland).

Now imagine Meta, an actual trillion dollar company, makes a hyperrealistic virtual world (e.g. look at the Matrix Unreal Engine 5 showcase - not the cinematic but an actual person playing the game and flying over the world and how realistic it looks and how fast it renders) and have an enormous marketing budget and reach to shill the ever living fuk out of it.

Again, its still a few years away as the tech needs to catch up but it absolutely will happen

idk how to break down how far google exists. but google is a search engine

they are linked to every key on your keyboard. their search engine is supposed to find those keys typed and filter it based on parameters they set

from there it is advertising

but they've obviously used their money for different sources after that. they collect a lot of data big business would be interested in (and advertise)

the google underwater lines are them extending their reach into all data transmission. allowing other countries in on their transmission lines; rather allowing data transmission between other countries

these transmission lines are the only way data is transmitted in certain parts of the globe. didn't snowden leak how invasive some of these companies were and how they were spying on other countries using their transmission lines?

first of all, i dont think google is going anywhere. second of all, i will admit i dont understand how much more infrastructure the gvt. has as compared to some of these companies. but it seems these companies are now more powerful than the gvt.

and the gvt. is answering to them, not the other way around.

though, the gvt. could institute things to change this

however, the gvt. does not want their money to go away

edit:
Surf's up

The cable system also constitutes a US soft power play, linking these countries together and to America, not China. An earlier draft, called the Pacific Light Cable, also involved ******** and Google and would have included Hong Kong as well. Washington, however, put its foot down over the Hong Kong leg, arguing it exposed the entire system's data to misuse by China.

China Mobile was to have played a role in the latest transpacific cable, but agreed to exit the project. Africa, meanwhile, has seen its international bandwidth capacity growing at a compound annual rate of 47% from 2016 to 2020. Asia is just behind it at 40%.

And Google, ********, Microsoft and Amazon between them have accounted for 64% of all used capacity, in data from 2019.

edit:
Google doesn't make money off searches. They make money off companies that pay them for ads. The ads appear on searches.

That's their business model. Everything else is simply an expense to get companies to pay them for ads.

They are not a fibre laying company. They probably didn't even do it themselves - they contracted it out to companies that lay lines down.

They put it down so that your search experience is better. But your searches are not their primary business. It is delivering ads that are related to your search.

Now, yeah, they have attempted to expand because they are keenly aware that over 90% of their revenue comes from ads. And almost all of it has failed.

Why do they have gmail? It's so they can show you ads. Because companies pay for those ads.

Your other points are not related to Google specifically. There are always companies that lobby the gov't. If Google falls then some other lobby will take their place.

as mentioned, Netflix and im not sure its close. Tons of competitors who have or are in the process of getting the rights back to shows they own to play on their own streaming service is going to leave Netflix with just their own series, most of which aren't great. And that also eliminates the biggest draw of Netflix which was that you could watch the entire show without having to wait for the Next season/episode.

everything on Netflix is free in HD online, the UI and easy access with no pop ups is the main draw I guess but is that worth the money.

Disney+ or prime video might just end up buying it at least that'd be one less app to use.

Netflix and it's not even close, everything else is far more entrenched.

Would be a lot better discussion with Netflix off the list of considerations and then I would say ******** if they bomb the whole metaverse play.

Netflix.

They're the only one with numerous competitors, are bleeding cash, and are not turning a profit.

People are also getting pissed with their political bullchit.

Meta isn't going anywhere. They made a super power move that most people don't understand yet.
Google is going to coast. I wouldn't invest in them, but I don't think they're going anywhere.
Apple has too much capital to go anywhere. I question their 20 year future.
Microsoft continues to acquire and grow. Definitely not going anywhere.
Amazon will rise and fall with the economy and consumer spending. I don't see them going anywhere.

Lol @ thinking any of Big Tech is going to "die"

Ever heard of "too big to fail?"

Its the norm in our crony capitalist and corporate socialism society now.

If any Big Tech, which is closely intertwined with government, is on the verge of dying, they'll get a bailout from taxpayers via the government

don't think you guys understand how much they are apart of the infrastructure to the internet.

so basically by using the internet you're using their services

they were basically lucky to start a revolution and get in the ground floor. when they were new there was nothing against it, but as time has gone on some people are aware of their essential monopoly and hopefully its curtailed
Exactly. They aren't going anywhere. And if there is any risk of them going down, they'll be bailed out by the government.
