Honestly, it's amazing how quickly Google got to the point where their corporate culture is so ossified that they can't build or maintain anything successful anymore and are resorting to extracting the tiniest bits of revenue no matter the reputational cost. Especially considering that this decline has been going on for a while.

Most big successful companies blow up and then spend decades on a plateau before they start the long, inevitable decline - it seems like Google just skipped that part.
