Sure, but isn’t “raise the cost of the API to the point where it is prohibitively expensive for everyone” at best a cost reduction strategy only?

I don't see how this is a play towards profitability, when the (obvious) outcome of their absurd pricing is a massive reduction in API usage. The fact is, advertisements pay better than any amount their users or third-party developers

Don't forget about Google Fi (which, it seems sometimes, that _Google_ has forgotten about) which ties it all together with traditional carrier services too. Well it did until they sunset Hangouts, I suppose.

ehhhh that comparison is pretty weak. you get to choose how much you care about being "discriminated" against for your interests. you don't get to choose how racial discrimination impacts you.

Kailh has their Choc switches which are low profile. Not quite chicklet but fills the same role for the most part. Low-pro lovers seem to like them quite a bit.
