| While you may be technically right in many of these points, what you say misses or purposefully deflects points from the parent. For example: > [Google] Sells ads for a living >> Microsoft, Amazon and Apple also sell ads. Parent is not stating that the companies do not sell ads, parent is stating that Google primarily makes its money by selling ads. Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple do not. > [Google] Kills products randomly > [Google] Kills platforms randomly (leaving developers high and dry) >> Apple, Amazon and Microsoft all routinely deprecate products. There is a difference between deprecating and "killing" as the parent puts it, and unlike Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft, Google has a website dedicated to its many killed products [1], primarily because Google has a pretty bad reputation for killing a product randomly without much notice. Beyond those, you're being disingenuous with at least these two points: > Microsoft censors their products in China, Google does not. > Amazon sells counterfeit products, Google does not. You're technically correct but that's because 1) Google products aren't accessible in China, and 2) Google doesn't really sell physical products like Amazon does (if you don't count some devices like phones). That's like saying, assuming Elmer's Glue isn't in China, that "Microsoft censors their products in China, Elmer's Glue does not." 1: https://killedbygoogle.com |
