>Such a shame then that that talent is focused on making people click ads

Alphabet's Project Loon was providing connectivity to Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. What were the other SV companies, that did nothing to help out, working on?

exactly. no other SV co is as scientific minded as Alphabet. People focus on the fact that they make money from ads, but nobody looks at what they have done with that money. No other company has done so much for education in my opinion indirectly.( Youtube, Google Earth , Google itself). Google Classroom is also there but I am talking about education in general. As a student, if I had to wish which company survived among the top 5 if 4 had to die tomorrow, then most people in their right mind would vote for Alphabet. even haters.
