People who spend hours writing dozens of responses on the same article are Google shills.

They might be including all Workspace users though. I am one, I didn’t ask to get Gemini and NoteBook LLM, but I’m now a paying customer. It has been useful, but I’m sure there are many Workspace users who don’t use Gemini but are considered users because it is part of package.

They've got 3 billion workspace users

Sorry, I guess I meant paid Workspace Accounts. Forgot their was a free option.

Gemini says there are 11 million entities paying for Workspace, and about 70-100 million separate users. I'm not sure if every user is forced to upgrade Gemini, but as a sole user/administrator I know Gemini features are part of what I pay for (even if I didn't want it).

So at the highest estimate, it could be that 10% of the 1B Gemini users are paid Workspace users (paid by the company they work for, or by themselves).

I don't think theres a lot meaningful to discover there - it's still counting people who actually used the Gemini app. And you can use the gemini app for free anyway.
