I can only imagine. It took clear to Tier 3 before we moved past "try uninstalling all your apps and reinstalling them one by one!"

I'm steadily realizing that Google isn't really a corporation, and neither is Alphabet - they're a balkanized constellation of petty fiefdoms whose territory can be absorbed and forgotten upon the whim of the king. Holy Roman Empire? Not so much. Hapsburg Empire? Totes Mcgoats. So those things that you thought would be awesome? Earth? Fi? GChat? Yeah fuck that shit it's all about Google Plus right now. Except oops we pissed off everybody on Youtube so throw money at Youtube! Except shit Youtube is burning! Look! We make phones! VR! VR! VR! but at the end of the day they're a fucking ad agency that owns everyone's data.
