I don't know, I think we tried a few times and are simply yelling over each other at this point. You're refusing to understand my argument. I don't think it will benefit either of us to continue on. So this will be my last re

Cute thought experiment: Google is notorious for snuffing products they consider unprofitable. Yet persisted with Youtube for 16 years. Why?
