And if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. There's no way Google has 3 billion paid users for this product. That said, Google is currently expanding its Hyderabad office by a lot, and moving projects there, attempting to use the old globalist playbook by charging first world prices for third world labor costs. Seems unwise in the long run, given the recent geopolitical upheavals.

- nothercastle 2y agoI think they won’t but even 50-100m paying users is big money
- ein0p 2y agoNot quite the same dramatic effect that Jacobin was aiming for.
