Just how Google wants it too.

No? Their whole business model is extracting value from the open web with ads.
Reubachi•1d ago
Google's business model as it stands is too faceted to say any statement like that.

But largely it's generating ad revenue from new connected devices/interfaces as the ycome into scale, based off the data they generate/analyze.

If you had read the article, you'd see that open web that the executive is refering to is the open web before multimedia devices/interfaces became the primary ad absorption method.

Google certainly wants you stop stop watching youtube on firefox on your windows tv. They will give you a free device to do so. (chromecast) where they can control the entire experience, FORCING you to reconcle the ad.

In an emailed statement to The Verge, Google spokesperson Jackie Berté said the statement is “one cherry-picked line that misrepresents” the company’s legal filing. “It’s clear from the preceding sentence that we’re referring to ‘open-web display advertising’ and not the open web as a whole,” Berté said. “We are pointing out the obvious: that investments in non-open web display advertising like connected TV and retail media are growing at the expense of those in open web display advertising.”

Regardless, we had an open web before algorithmic search engines, we had an open web before targeted advertising, and we had an open web before AI. The joy of the web is that anyone can write anything they want on it, regardless of corporate sponsorship or not.

The public statements of Google execs are highly biased. The arguments from Google lawyers in court filings are also highly biased. In fact, lawyers and ad execs are some of the least reliable/good faith commentators I can think of.

Further, “decline” should be quantified precisely otherwise the statement has no meaning in the first place.
