I mean, when was the last time your friends or your parents asked you something and you had to Google for it?
When I think of key risks, with the upcoming rising inflation and high interest rates, I think it's going to have a massive dampening effect on advertising spend.
And advertising spend still makes up a majority of Google's revenue.
But in saying that, Google is still on the top of the advertising value chain in that they control the ecosystem.
So a lot of businesses, content creators, even our business is kind of reliant on Google.
So that kind of showcases how powerful Alphabet is or Google is.
The other key risk I would mention is as Google becomes more relevant to people's everyday lives and becomes more powerful and has that monopoly, I think that attracts more media scrutiny.
And it's already in the media a lot of the time.
But it does, you know, there's a greater risk of more regulation.
