Comment on Ask HN: Is Google Slowly Dying?

Comments

Google Cloud is a solid product. It’s extremely unlikely to be bigger than Azure and AWS in the next 10 years but being the third biggest American cloud provider doesn’t sound bad at all.

YouTube is the biggest on the long videos segment and has no real competitor.

Google Maps is a great product too without big competition for end users.

Android is the main (and only?) alternative to iOS.

Then they have many descent products like Google Photos or Google Sheets. A lot of strong competition on this domain but again not being the biggest isn’t the end of the world.

Google Search will probably still keep plenty of users. Brand loyalty is strong. For example, a thousand of Norwegians bought the worst electric car of the market this year because it’s a Toyota. I’m sure such people will also happily keep using Google Search even when it’s only showing them garbage content full of ads.

Saying a particular car is the "worst" when it's regarded as the most reliable brand out there, is a weird take. It's like saying a navy blue suit is tacky. Just goes against the grain.

The Toyota BZ4X is truly the worst car you can buy in its category. It’s so disappointing that it’s entertaining.

And about the reliability, this car started well with its wheels falling off.

YouTube is the biggest on the long videos segment and has no real competitor.

Exactly. YouTube's competition is not even close to challenging YouTube and is virtually non-existent.
