I wouldn't put it below Apple to profit from advertising control if Google didn't have an iron grip on it.

This frog probably did though, saw bit on tv last week, and thanks to the old data miner (google searched it). https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/amphibians/w/wallaces-flying-frog/ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/amphibians/w/wall... I prematurely agree, it's not real wings, but bumps its ass a lot less compared to other frogs.
