Reply to comment by Timid_Robot in [OC] Microsoft Bing: A forgotten $10B+ business by jtsg_

Obviously. Not everyone does. But when Google isn't an option clearly people are going to use other search engines.

Data says Bing has over 14% of market share as another commentor shared so it turns out my experience was pretty accurate but thanks for your feedback!

No, you're comment was that most of Bings revenue comes from China. That's not what the data says, that's not even what your experience says. Sure, some people (14%) use bing in china. That does not mean most of their revenue comes from China. Data says it's about 30%, more ore less equal to the revenue from the us. You're experience means jack shit...

I said I suspect most of Bing's revenue comes from China. Given that they have 14% market share in China and 6% in the US, that wasn't a bad suspusion. Every analysis shows China uses Bing more than the US does. I'm not sure where you're looking but since the person posted the 14% thing I've not found anything to support your points.

I'm also not sure why this is your hill to die on. I'm speaking about my experience in China. If your experience there was difference fair enough.
