How is it narcissism? It's pragmatism! A company isn't going to work on something that a minority of people care about out of the goodness of their heart. Why would you expect that of them?
- majewsky 6y agoOnly because of how you phrase it. If you strike out the latter half of the sentence and just have the company > work on something that a minority of people care about then that can be a very viable business plan. In fact, pg probably has an essay about that. Maybe the "do things that don't scale" one?
- sullyj3 6y agoIf in fact it is viable, then it's a good idea to work on it. Seems like a big "if". Regardless, it's a different argument to the nonsensical one gp was making.
- Spivak 6y agoThe problem is that Google’s infrastructure makes it damn near impossible to spin off products to people who would be more than happy to run a 10 million dollar company.
- tengbretson 6y ago2 Billion people describes "a minority" of Google users. I think that is the problem.
