At least when GCE tried to recruit me -- now almost a decade back -- it was with millions of dollars of concessions where they would clearly be operating at a loss. We tried them. If, instead of $$$, they had treated customers like human beings rather than statistics, that might have paid off. As is, I'd say the effect was literally the same as if Google had poured millions of dollars into the California wildfires by quite literally dumping paper dollar bills into the fire. Google lost a bunch of money, and their problem went from few customers to vocal, dissatisfied ex-customers.
