Alphabet’s Profit Falls 34% (fourth consecutive drop) Amid Ads Slowdown
The fact that the ad model has worked so well is always a nice reminder of how much of a bubble I live in. Personally I have never intentionally clicked on a Google&#x2F;YouTube&#x2F;etc ad. Never. I wonder if the general population has been getting more tech-savvy and skeptical of ads over time, but this change takes a very long time to play out. I sometimes see my dad clicking on ads because he doesn&#x27;t understand the mechanics behind them, but he&#x27;ll die pretty soon, and a younger more tech-savvy generation will replace him.
