I’m genuinely curious where their penny picking went? All of tech companies shove ads into our throats and steal our privacy justifying that by saying they operate at loss and need to increase income. But suddenly they can afford spending huge amounts on some shit that won’t give them any more income. How do they justify it then?

-
Talk to a LLM about what product to buy
-
Search online for a product to buy
Which one gives out more information about yourself?

It’s another untapped market they can monopolize. (Or just run at a loss because investor’s are happy with another imaginary pot of gold at the end of another rainbow.)
