Switching costs for a search engine are pretty damn low. And yet their search product is littered with crap and exploits users like only a monopolist would.
Ideally they’ll continue burning goodwill by doing things like adding some fact-checking or censorship “features” into Gmail, delisting political sites, and feature hyper-partisan political infighting as a core tenant of their employee training and advancement practices.
GoodCheapFast alleges they have a 7% conversion rate from visitors to purchases. That’s insanely high, and indicates Google should be sending them as much traffic as possible if their goal is serving the end-user.
But since the site doesn’t advertise with Google, and in fact fosters a beautiful ad-free experience, its essentially an indictment of everything Google stands for and therefore must be eliminated.

How do you compete when nobody is buying Yuan and the demand disappears overnight in the foreign exchange markets?
Have you looked at dumping the “wellness”?

Exactly. That's like saying Tesla should be divided into a part making cars, and another part taking payments from buyers.
