    I never said that Google is on the verge of collapse, nor did I defend them. I merely stated that Google is a corporation, driven by profit, and expecting Google to act in the interest of anything but their own profits is a fool’s fantasy. Quit putting words in people’s mouths. It’s unbecoming of anyone that wants to have a legitimate discussion and it’s just toxic.

      I never said you said those things, tf are you talking about? I clearly said “acting as if”. And you were acting like that. Because when you “simply state the fact that it’s a corporation driven by profit” you play into their hand and inadvertently justify their mentality of ‘profit over everything else’, including privacy and truth. And speaking of putting words into people’s mouth…I never said that I expect them to act in the best interests of anyone. I clearly said that YouTube does not provide all that content for free. It is very much paid for, by both the loss of privacy and the many ads they run. Also, I find quite interesting how for you suddenly when people go against what I assume are your stances, they become toxic. You also put words into my mouth and clearly misinterpreted my point. By the same metric, how could I not assume that you too are toxic and not interested in legitimate discussions? You just replied to my comment with names and gaslighting. You added nothing of substance to the conversation.
