If we’re talking about Econ 101 maybe Google shouldn’t have purchased a company that couldn’t turn a profit after nearly a decade without rent-seeking.
Ever hear of a loss-leader? Econ 101...
But I'm sure a random guy on Lemmy knows a bit more than one of the largest corporations on the planet. You should apply for a job there, they might like your ideas.
I don't think you know what a loss leader is bc it doesn't precisely apply here.
Also Google isn't that hot of a place to work tbh.
