RGB3x3So we're just making Google Assistant even more useless now?
I don’t understand why google is still worth so much money, they are a trash company that really isn’t trying to improve any of its products. It just periodically threatens its workers with job cuts and continues to serve up crap to its customers.
That’s because you don’t understand what business Google is actually in. They’re an ad company. They sell and serve ads. Everything else is just ways to better target and serve ads. All those “products”? Those aren’t revenue streams to them, they’re incidental costs of the ads that are their actual product.
I understand that, but they aren’t even that functional at doing that. They have ruined their products so much that it is threatening the ad value of the ads they sell I imagine. Google search is awful now and there is a very real chance people will stop using it for the first time in like a decade.

They control the market because Google, like most too-big-too-fail massive corporations, buys out any serious competitors and uses its dominant size to destroy the threat of competition before it can actually challenge them to make better products. Yes Google isn’t a monopoly in any of its industries but it doesn’t need to be since most of the large competitors they face are thinking the same way they are, why fight when we can enjoy our cake and do nothing?
Just because google products are widely used doesn’t mean they are good, it means people think they are the best option or can’t be bothered to switch which is a very very different thing.
My point was more that the products aren’t ruined from the perspective of their intended design. They’re not meant as products to be of maximum usefulness to the customer, rather to capture and control the largest share of the market.

They’re actually amazing at it. The measure of success for an advertising company is selling ad space.
