Okay so bear with me. My local carwash has a legitimate crazy person there who tries to sell his flat-earth pamphlets. The carwash tries to chase him away, not because they're the street's "baby sitter", but because he's bad for business. People could go get a car wash elsewhere. People could store their files elsewhere.
- paulpauper 5y agoLet's assume the carwash has thousands of very expensive customers who generate billions of dollars for it, and many more cheaper customers that generate much less or nothing. And the crazy person is hassling some of the non-paying customers, but it costs google $1000/day to stop him, because he's very persistent. Is it worth google paying $1000/day to protect those non-paying customers or help those expensive customers?
- phendrenad2 5y agoYeah that's my point, being the babysitter of your platform is sometimes cost-effective, and sometimes not.
