A post on r/stocks claims Google search revenue has fallen from just under 60% of total revenue in Q4 2019 to under 50% today, citing $63B of $127B, and that advertising overall dropped from 82% to 64% of quarterly revenue. The author argues Google has become a more diversified and resilient business that commentators underappreciate.
