>not market it at all
I noticed that too. Google never adversises its producta. Google is almost like the startup founder who thinks their side project is so good it doesn't need marketing or sales.

It's not zero, because Chromecast doesn't block ads and that's the natural fit for Stadia. But it's definitely not 100% either.
How would an ad reach me? Youtubers? Can Google use its "contractors" to promote its own product? That just feels weird.
At first I was baffled why they would possibly need to advertise Chrome in the US. But in retrospect it might just be feather ruffling in Edge (Microsofts) backyard?
Anything else, not that important, even GCP which is their major bet doesn't really get any ads because it's a business product so not much sense in doing so.
They seem to believe word of mouth/viral marketing works because it worked for gmail and chrome, so they didn't double down on Stadia before product market fit, and that caused Stadia to fail(along with Google's short attention span reputation).
Not really true (e.g. Chrome) but it's probably true they advertise relatively little given their size.
