Great work boys, thread over.
For real though, this is the answer. They start a bunch of projects that live in perpetual alpha or beta if they're lucky, then once they never leave alpha/beta status, they assume nobody cares about it and kill it.
Ads keep the money flowing in and search dominance means that shit is locked down. They also have managed to keep Android around, I assume because it's simply too big to kill off, but they certainly seem like they're trying to kill it.
They need to fire Pitchai and organise themselves to stick with projects they create and see them through to at least a releasable state.
boring answer: the shareholders of google are paid the profits as dividends, part of it may be invested into research or just passive income sources for the company.
it astonishes me what absolute cucks most investors are. It's their money and they're mostly content to let companies just sit on it or blow it on retarded "moonshot" bullshit instead of paying it out to them, the owners.
Fuck off. When you invest, you agree to the company's terms. People who invest in Google are giving them resources to pursue their vision, and are willing to wait. You are not entitled to fuck-all. If you want quick money invest in Amazon or some other tradco.
>>Fuck off. When you invest, you agree to the company's terms.
You're one of the cucks I'm talking about anon. When you buy the shares, you're an owner. Those profits belong to you. And then management just says "nah, you can't have em, we know best" and you just say "okay". You literally are entitled to the profits. You own them. >Amazon
kek, I will never buy any of the FAGMAN/Magnificent Seven companies
If a corporation pays dividends they have no business being invested in. They're literally admitting they have market saturation and can't think of anything productive to do with the money... and giving it back.
Google would be better off burning the money than paying dividends, even though their lifecycle is at the point where they shouldn't care.
Wait, why?
Google is breaking the formula as usual. But where is all of this money going then? Have they really never paid any dividends? How could the founders afford to buy islands?
there's been a few cases of dudes doing basically that to large companies. just write up a bill for some sort of realistic service and send it, sometimes they pay up
>250 billion dollars in profit >90% of traffic comes from mobile devices >we must stop the 50,000 neckbeards who run ublock on their desktops
i wish they get nuked.
It's a product. 3rd parties like HP and Lenovo produce the actual hardware, and Google develops the OS. I'd choose a Macbook every day of the week, but if you're really poor and don't care about control, privacy, or storage a Chromebook is an option.

Android being open source is what keeps it around.
Nobody wants to overpay for crapple.

Google doesn't pay dividends.

giving my money back to me is more productive for me
the more earnings are retained the more management is bilking the shareholders

This is typical for tech companies, as they tend to have high internal rates of return
>retarded answer: the shareholders are paid dividends
durrrrrr
WHERE IS ALL THE MONEY?
A lot of it is in cash, according to their current assets. Yet more is in "assets" but I don't have that breakdown handy.
Making better products obviously
they invested 2 billion in anthropic (an openai competitor)
do you think if i wrote them a nice letter they'd give me just 1 million $? it's much in the grand scheme of things, but would help a lot
there's been a few cases of dudes doing basically that to large companies. just write up a bill for some sort of realistic service and send it, sometimes they pay up
so that's the way Google spends its money

Yet, adblockers are the threat killing it.
Yup. I'm thinking good.

I believe they're using it to manipulate elections in their favour so they can pay less tax and make more money in the future
they buy bombs for israel to drop in gaza and slaughter palestinian women and babies
cool it with the antisemitic remarks, anon
Palestinians are semitic too anon so it would be antisemitic to support israel.

But apparently people actually use Chrome OS
