imo the problem with big tech executives who rose through the ranks in the growth phase of the company is that after the exponential growth in the employee count they expect the individual performance to be the same as their time in the company without changing anything in the leadership style.
being scrappy might work when you have <1000 employees since the chaos might be manageable but when you have 100000 people working in the company scattered around the world, the leadership must also adapt otherwise you get bloated companies that are ran like a headless chicken.
Sundar and Zuckerberg love to blame the individual contributors for having fun instead of working and slacking off but it's so hard for them to hold themselves accountable for the situation of their companies. They get their bonuses when the company is performing well but when times are tough it's because of a regular employee slacking off. ironic that big tech started off with the idea of being better than large corporations of the time only to end up as a bureaucratic hell itself.

This is the lifecycle of all corporations. Before Google and Facebook we had Yahoo and Myspace. Now TikTok is doing the same thing and Sundar and Zuckerberg are crying about it. They shot themselves in the foot de-platforming and censor content creators. Those creators were welcomed with open arms by Google and Facebook competitors. I see more and more creators pushing their YouTube and Instagram audiences over to Rumble or TikTok. Clearly it's starting to be a real problem for the bottom line. Before you say TikTok does the same, that's true, but it's not the point. Creators don't like having to walk on eggshells if they can avoid it.
- scarface74 4y agoYes I’m sure that Google is going to lose billions because it deplatformed some fringe folks. If they were such a powerful voice, Truth Social wouldn’t be struggling.
- infamouscow 4y agoFirst they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. The inescapable fact of the matter is TikTok is eating Instagram's lunch. I bet we'll see Rumble do the same to YouTube in a year or two.

- unity1001 4y ago> Yes I’m sure that Google is going to lose billions because it deplatformed some fringe folks. In the long run, yes. Because what's defined as 'fringe' and undesirable can change any moment like it had in the past with changing governments and corporate sentiment, and the next 'fringe' group may be a group that you are in. Even if it feels like that would be nigh on impossible at this moment.
- scarface74 4y agoIf QAnon, election deniers, and their backers - including the former President - becomes mainstream, we are all in deep shit. https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/qanon-trump-conspiracy-theories https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/qanon-trump-conspiracy-the...
- infamouscow 4y agoSo an idea can only be mainstream if you deem it acceptable? I guess we should get rid of voting while we're at it, since clearly your views are the only ones that matter.
- scarface74 4y agoWell, if you check out what’s going on in many Red states where the officials are trying to pass laws that give the government the power to overturn elections, where the former President tried to convince the Secretary of State in GA to “find votes”, and where he was trying to get the VP not to certify the election results, it’s already happening. Unless you also believe that Trump is facing down a shadowy cabal of Democratic pedophiles with headquarters below a pizza shop.
