As opposed to which other company?
- tux3 5y agoMozilla? They're not the paragon of virtue I want them to be, but it sure fucking ain't Google. My point is that there are shades and degrees of bad behavior. It's a mistake to handwave every company as equally bad. That feeling is how you normalize horribly immoral things.
- pessimizer 5y agoWhat difference does that make? This is an observation about Google's motives, not an argument that they're the only company who has those motives.
- janto 5y agoMaybe: as opposed to companies that exclusively rely on income from happy users of their software. As long as users are locked into Google's platform it doesn't matter to their bottom line if an individual product is at best "good enough". Google can make money out of the user's engagement in other ways.
