Google don't live in a vacuum - without new content, new advertisers, new businesses, new users, new ideas, they'll stagnate.

If Google is happy, then I think that's a good indicator for everyone upstream and downstream.

And if Google said they were unhappy, their stock would plummet, so I don't think we have anything to go on here.

>without new content, new advertisers, new businesses, new users, new ideas, they'll stagnate.

Or put another way, with diminishing content, crumbling advertisers, few new businesses, few ideas, and no new users, they'll get hurt.

when you are rich, recessions are just a time to get assets on sale.

why pay top dollar to acquire a startup when you can get them for 80% off in six months? times like this are gravy for companies like apple and google, they have more than enough cash to ride out the apocalypse and buy up assets on the morning after
