I think it's like a life cycle of a company when it goes public it doesn't works for itself or it's products then it's just numbers game.

So what's the 2025 1999 Google?

We don't have one. Running a search engine is expensive and you can no longer just run on endless amounts of VC. You need a way to make money somehow. Kagi might be the closest (I haven't tried it because Google is still generally usable for me, but I've heard good things), but it's not free.

You can still run on endless amounts of VC. You just have to pretend to be the next big thing. Right now that’s AI.
