This oversimplification isn't useful and is getting old. If mom and pop don't use the new products Google comes up with, the advertisers will spend less money and/or eventually leave. The incentives are not so nearly misaligned as you suggest.
- Narkov 14y agoNope - everything comes back to advertisers (well, actually, money). If Google could make more money by not offering services do you think they would? Of course they would.
- niels_olson 14y agoI have friends who have not taken jobs at google. I'm pretty sure their issue is allocating scarce engineers, not servers.
