Companies that are run by these sorts of people will ultimately fail.
Sadly that's wishful thinking I fear. Because these companies are propped up & manipulated into successfull market positions by subversive global funding.
They also get government contracts. They also infiltrated companies that are practically monopolies on what they do. Google and Amazon have to do something extreme to fail. At worse they would be slow falling for decades.
They also racketeer against their competitors to stop any of them from becoming successful. This is what made Patrick Byrne of Overstock.com hire a WSJ reporter to investigate them and start Deep Capture. And from our research the Swamp turned out to be MI6 and the Rothschilds running Russian and Islamist operations with the entire PR industry, all of Microsoft, and several heads of the American Bar Association implicated in treason.
Google is Alphabet which is almost certainly controlled at the state level by the US government. Similar to how "news" outlets are now just state sponsored propaganda.
I think Google can fail quickly.
They really only have two things they're entirely reliant on, ads on search and youtube.
Search sounds like a sure bet monopoly, but it's in peril from their own research in AI. Anybody can generate any amount of realistic looking content written by an AI even about specific topics, and the AI can't tell the difference because it's made to sound like what an AI thinks is real.
They've already added rules that sites will get banned/blacklisted if they use AI generated content, but they'll have to hire people to determine that and good luck keeping up with spammers, who'll just click a button and generate new sites and content if they get banned.
Youtube is failing from self-inflicted policy wounds of showing people what Google wants them to see rather than what the person wants to see, so they are losing to Tik Tok, Rumble, and others because those sites are more fun and engaging. YouTube is becoming just a video player for things linked to from elsewhere, which means video can be put wherever gives the best return meaning that Google can't extract huge profit from it. Of course they could lift their bias filters, but their ideology prevents it.
They can't adapt because their internal systems are byzantine, taking half a year for new hires to be able to do anything, and with policies that prevent change. For example, for ten years they've been unable to add case-sensitive search because the UI team won't allow another button to be added.
So yeah I think they could fail in as little as 5-10 year timeframe -- not go bankrupt, but be completely dethroned.
There's a saying that the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. This is similar. These parasites can destroy the company's value without killing it completely, especially when most competing companies are doing more or less the same thing.
Everything eventually fails, yes. While that statement is true, it's not entirely useful.
There are more people alive today than died throughout the entirety of human history. Though we have a good reason to believe everyone will die, something may happen yet that makes immortality possible.
Likewise with empires.
False. The condition known as "life" has an approximately 92%-93% death rate. Only 7-8% of people ever alive since we first evolved into humans are currently alive.
It is still as astronomical number, and a surprisingly high one, but it's nowhere near 51%.
