It's basically a slow switch to becoming critical international infrastructure like power grids, water ways, and gas/oil pipelines.
This all while locking you in as much as possible and milking as much value as they can squeeze.
That'd be advertising, and by a mile.
Through search. They make a ton with ads on the search page, sponsored links, etc.
