I saw a documentary about advertising agencies. They interviewed someone working at the marketing division of nike. She said her job was to get people to play sports. That of course is not true. Her job is to get people to buy shoes. I think your comment is misguided as well. Google really just wants people to click on ads.
- icandoitbetter 15y agoYes, Google wants to make more money. No question about it. But why are you so eager to reject any other possible motivation just because profit-making is involved? There is satisfaction in making the world a better place; why wouldn't Sergey & Larry want to get that satisfaction?
- nazar 15y agoExactly! I can't agree more on that. I can get a job which will give me trise as much as I make now with my startup+freelance jobs. But that wouldnt give me satisfaction. I suppose even seeing how people react on what you're up to on scale that Google operates has to be cool.
- sbochins 15y agoI was responding to this: "I strongly disagree. Google wants us to use its services because at its core is a bunch of engineers that simply want to make the world better." I don't doubt that the people working at google want to make the world better and work on cool software. I don't think that is the primary motivation of google as a company.
