Also, please note how Google has not once paid dividends to their shareholders. Not once:

Soooo, shareholders have only one way to earn money with GOOG stock - by selling higher than they purchased, which is fine in a bull market (but difficult in a bear market). So you need to find the next stupid person to sell your GOOG stock.

And if you think the shareholders can actually change this, think again! With Sergey & Larry & Eric holding 10 times the voting power of ordinary stock, they can control the company as long as they wish.
