Where does Magenta fit into all of this? Google is so damn big, yet produces seemingly little (that survives). I don’t think their left hand knows what the right is doing even though this move seems like it’s trying to help.

I think twenty years from now they’ll teach how they threw 100s of billions they got from search down a hole and came out with nothing but acquisitions, sharing their servers (GCP) and a Linux based OS.
