All good points. I'd argue that revenue from search is more than just display ads (which is in a race to the bottom) and it's more about controlling the conversation and directing the buying decision to your other products, but that's harder to quantifying so absolute dollar amounts are at least comparable between orgs.
You mention people moving away from Windows and I feel that's an easy problem to fix by focussing on the customer, coming up with a name that can be verb'd, and stopping this stupidity.
cheers

After MS pulled the plug on their phones, they stated they're no longer necessarily interested in keeping people on Windows (as that strategy clearly wasn't working, at least as far as their phones were concerned), but rather, they were going to their customers instead, "wherever they may be", whether that's on Android or iOS or Linux or, yes, even Windows.
Someone on Android changing his default search engine to Bing, because it provides ChatGPT results, would definitely be a big win from MS's perspective. It remains to be seen whether there's enough people to do just that. Depends on how easy it is--"path of least resistance" type of thing.

"Bing it" definitely isn't as catchy...

Oh, gawd...
Marketing people at MS "experimenting". I say, fire the whole lot, and anyone else while they're at it who thinks of Windows as an "ad-delivery platform". That's exactly how I'm going to end up bailing on them and going to Linux.

Once you get higher votes, it will get ignored by the scoring system.

I remember my first 100K, back in 2011 - it was my first MVP that tipped me over it, and into the "big league".

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I don't run.*
Heck I barely walk ...
* I follow Billy Connolly's life lessons, as set out in his wife's biography of him "Billy" (ISBN 978-1-58567-308-7 and a good read), one of which is: "Boo joggers". Every time I see them!

I suspect he'll catch OG around the same time as the heat death of the universe.

I'm want to know whether the rep point counter will go negative after 231-1. OG will get there in only ~1,000 years...

Congrats! And you've got the rep in all the "right" sections as well (author, authority, organiser)
I'm mostly debator these days (meaning I post bad jokes and my SOTW)

Once your rep unlocks all the aspects of this site that you want to pursue, then it is 100% completely useless and has no significant meaning of any kind, unless you want to torture yourself everyday knowing that you will NEVER EVER attain Griff's 3.1+ million rep.

The really exclusive content starts at 250K.
I'd tell you more, but that would make you an accomplice
It's said there's content only OG has access to, not even Chris knows what it is.
