This discussion is crazy. Google is a business that sells advertising. They build a free browser so that it is easier for the end user to use their product. Chrome does tricky things to help google like, automatically searching if you don't type a URL into the address bar. You as a user, you have typed midjourney instead of midjourney.com using google search as your dns lookup.

Google is a business that has correctly identified that users are most likely unable to type the full URL into a browser and uses this opportunity to display some advertising. As my retirement investment holds a small amount of ETFs that would own google shares, yay for me. Thank you for not typing .com



I think people need to keep repeating this until they make sense of it.

- Google is in the business of selling online advertising.

The tech stuff? AH its just stuff they offer so they can do the above more efficiently and effectively.

Thats it. It seems many either cant see the truth or dont want it to be so.


Sure, just don't complain when people get fed up enough to burn all this shit down with a vengeance and your retirement investment is all zeroes.
