This +100. Sundar has been a competent "steward" but clearly he isn't the visionary the company needs nor shareholders expect.

Just look at Google's recent failures or inability to thwart competitors, despite its massive scale and resources:

- YouTube Short: took too long (4+ years) to launch against TikTok

- Meet: lacked feature parity to Zoom despite the perfect market condition

- Stadia: telegraphed its intention (Project Stream) 5 years early and lacked conviction

- ChatGPT: caught flat-footed and playing catch-up for 2+ years now

It's surprising that he hasn't been fired by the board already.
