Many VCs are fantasizing taking a stab at the search market - with #AI chatboats .. like #perplexity .. and even renewed interest in #Bing search ..
But here is the deal ..
No one wants to pay for search.. I mean I don't even wanna pay for #Netflix .. and you can't run a chatbot for global search just based on advertising revenue .. math doesn't add up .. you will bleed away billions in matter of months ..
The new search model is a hybrid .. you get free old search supported by ad keywords .. and if you want something quick - pay ten cents for a million tokens #Gemini .. and you might get lucky in certain hours when #Gemini has less traffic .. you can't do this variable pricing if you don't control both - the #LLM as well as the frontend chatBot ..
That's why - my bet is on #google
