Google under Sundar Pichai is a terrible company that only succeeds based on its size and monopoly. Let's be honest, they're saying that search results will become secondary as they push their service. How do you, as a CEO and board, sign off on an idea that kills most of your (ad) revenue pursuing something that you haven't even figured out how to monetize? Make it make sense.

Google is basically ran like Boeing. Their goal is to maximum the stock price regardless of long-term consequences.

All public companies are, it's just what Boeing makes things that fall out of the sky if they mess up, so it's more obvious.

Oh, so they're gonna emphasize less on search results and more onto their half-arsed services that they're axing from time to time? This is so Google of them.
