It's not just an advertising service. I can also get info from it as well. Like if I ask how many national parks are in Wyoming, or is it ok for me to brush my dog's fur if it's been 2 weeks since his surgery.. those 2 search results did not show me advertisements of camping tents, or a dog brush on Amazon, it gave me the info i wanted right off the bat. So you are wrong
It's an advertising service, the way they serve ads is through attracting people to free searches.
It's much like how a magazine is actually an ad service, but you can open a magazine to any random page and have a chance of not seeing an ad.
Or like how over the air television is actually an ad service, but you have a chance of turning it on at any random moment and not seeing an ad.
He's not describing how Google attracts YOU. He's taking about what Google actually sells, which is ads.
