I worked for Google when the Google+ announcement went out and they tied our bonuses and other successes to social. I worked in Cloud, building a non-social product, and it was absolutely demoralizing. Guess what? Google+ crashed and burned, but now Google is doing cloud in a sort of semi-serious way, but still chasing after ML and not rewarding the hard-working cloud engineers. Really a messed up incentivization system.
