It's astounding how many willing employees Google has to comment voluntarily, out of their own awe of the mothership, in favor of anything Alphabet does. They're so many, it's like machine learning, Google barely has to try or know what's going on.

I always have to remind myself how poisoned the well of tech commentary has become with behemoths like FB, GOOG, AMZN.
