Search died ages ago [1]. Ads dying is a direct consequence of that.

You might want to let Google know that, because the number of searches on Google appears to continue to be growing massively:

Those numbers look like the exact opposite of dead or dying to me. As does Google's growing stock price over the same time period.

  • ‘Numbers go up’ is the exact type of thinking that caused the death of search.

    From a user perspective, google search results are awful and almost always a complete waste of time.

    • Again, this "death of search" I hear so much about, but doesn't exist in the numbers.

      If search results are such a waste of time, why do people keep using Google? In ever-increasing numbers? What's the explanation there?

You should let Google know, given their business is really humming nowadays. Along with their stock price.
