Genuine question. The article is about Apple. Why did you use Google as an example instead of Apple? Is there anything specific to Google that warrants using Google as an example instead of Apple, which is the company in question?
- thrwaway69 7y agoThis is HN. Every corporate example should start with google. Or I think they dislike how google freemium model from ad revenue to push services has butchered many startups which would have been big today while apple is more secluded. Think of gmail, chrome, gmaps, youtube, android, analytics, google cards, snippets etc. Only recently their revenue has more diversification than ads - at 89%.
