I'm guessing it's a row change from one number to another in a database table somewhere. There is no way in hell Google can't undo this change. They just don't

I'm guessing it's a row change from one number to another in a database table somewhere.
There is no way in hell Google can't undo this change. They just don't want to.
- sp332 11y agoIt's just odd that they're willing to pay money instead of doing the tiny change.
- orthecreedence 11y agoAgreed, unless they got a significant amount of money to change the URL in the first place...in which case paying for marketing materials would most likely be a drop in the bucket.
- oh_sigh 11y agoThey probably don't want to set a precedent of doing this. For example, if BMW wants youtube.com/beemer, but frank beemer has had it for years, they probably don't want a precedent where poor Frankie gets to keep it.

- threeseed 11y agoAnd if that table is regenerated every hour by some algorithm ? I agree that Google can fix this. But don't assume it's a quick 5 minute fix with an SQL client.
