This is How Google will Collapse (2017)
- ipsum2 6y agoI'm confused. It looks like you work at Google[0] but you're actively [1][2] trying to advertise this piece. Why? 0: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25829757 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25829757 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25979135 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25979135 2: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25975560 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25975560

- justicezyx 6y agoIt's obvious: when you know very well of something, you start to understand it's weakness unglyness negativity, those things will stuck you hard if you were previously drawn to that thing because of the opposite side. Then you feel sad and then start looking for venting.
- echelon 6y agoWhy are you calling them out?
- ipsum2 6y agoYou don't think that's weird that someone submits the same article 7 times, but from different domains over several months? Seems like spam or someone pushing an agenda. I personally prefer my HN without blatant manipulation. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=collapse%20by%3Apartingshots&sort=byPopularity&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
- ivank 6y agosubmitting a github.com/google link does not make someone a Google employee. I believe submitter misuses "Show HN". https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
- re 6y agoOP has resubmitted this multiple times, frequently when it's republished or mentioned on another site: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=collapse%20by%3Apartingshots&sort=byPopularity&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

- Clewza313 6y agocompany’s foundational principle was quietly proven false by the creator of JavaScript [...] Eich created Brave to fundamentally change the economics of the internet. [...] Disclaimers: The author owns a small number of Basic Attention Tokens (the utility token that makes Brave’s model possible) TL;DR: This looks like a thinly disguised BAT shill. I'm an occasional Brave user (but not a BAT holder), and I'm less than convinced by this theory.
- ketamine__ 6y agoAnd how many people own Google shares that post here?
- pattusk 6y agoWhy repost this in 2021? This is from 2017 and clearly hasn't aged well.
- kordlessagain 6y agoShorting?
- phreeza 6y agoNeeds a (2017) tag?
- dang 6y agoAdded. Thanks!
- ogre_codes 6y agoIt was an interesting article, until it stumbled into it's climax (sorry Spoiler alert): > "Eich created Brave to fundamentally change the economics of the internet." Ehh.... Nope. I think Google is struggling a lot more than people let on, but Brave isn't going to be the straw that breaks the Google's back. Fundamentally, Google has lost its vision and everything since... ~2015 or so (maybe sooner) has just been about turning the dial up on Google's profits even as their platforms get less appealing. Such a disappointment after being such an awesome company early on. But Brave? Seems unlikely.
- echelon 6y agoThe founders don't seem to have much interest anymore, and Pichai is no Bezos, Nadella, or Cook. More of a Ballmer. Google 2021 is Microsoft 2001. It's like they switched places. If Google had a leadership change and a new vision, maybe it'd be an exciting company again.
- ogre_codes 6y ago> Google 2021 is Microsoft 2001. So much so. Except Google's influence does not seem to be growing. I'm not sure it's fair to say it's peaked. GOOG and FB are the 2 FAANG stocks I won't own. GOOG because people don't seem to love their product any more and they don't seem to have the leverage FB has. FB because the company is run by a complete douchebag. Both have a lot of regulatory risk. Though if I'm honest, Amazon and Apple do too.
- alexashka 6y agoI don't think any leader can make a behemoth into a gazelle. It goes against nature. If you recall Steve Jobs coming back to Apple - Apple was going to go bankrupt. That was the only reason he was allowed back in - as a hail mary play. Google, Microsoft, etc, are successful, profitable companies with lots of MBAs earning cushy paycheques, deciding what the new re-designed logos are going to look like. They'll never let anyone who hasn't rotted their brains away for a few decades in. You know, same as politics.
