There is opportunity, but most of their revenue is coming from traditional advertising on Google search--that's a problem. YouTube is fantastic generating lots of ad revenue.

He just trimmed. How often are you using Google search vs. chatGPT (85/15 for him). Ad dollars will decline within Google. He wanted to reduce his overweight in GOOGL and hang onto a little.
