Stop gatekeeping. This same thing happened on the last thread about Google. Discourse is full of distractions and side topics and healthy diversions, thats what makes it interesting. Not everything has to be perfectly efficient like a well run board meeting complete with agenda and minutes taken. I'm all for a healthy avoidance of bikeshedding and derailment but this isn't a derailment. This is a tangential anecdote entirely valid to bring to the table as it gives insight into what can happen if google continues down this path. We don't need to postulate what might happen with Google, we can look at Facebook and say, hey, you know what, these same things are going to happen here, let me tell you how that worked out. If you can't manage to figure out how to bring this conversation back to google without locking the gate on natural discourse that's on you. Not us. Not ap. Stop gatekeeping.
