It's kind of amazing that after all this time, they haven't created anything worth reporting outside of the add business.

Youtube, maps, phones?

Youtube - money loser Maps - money loser (but we will see after their recent huge price increases shake out) Phones - money loser. they are selling fewer phones annually than apple sells in a week.

cloudflare?

Problem with Cloudflare is that their CEO has taken down a domain for political reasons. While I agree with him taking the domain down, but what about the next CEO?

That's just false information. They didn't take any domain down. They stopped offering their CDN/proxying service to a customer. That customer is/was free to host their own content using their own or a different service. No company should be required to offer services to anyone and everyone unless they are the only option on the market. And cloudflare is very far from the only CDN on the market.

Of course they do. Let's Encrypt provides DV (Domain Validation). Not OV (Organization Validation). Obviously .dev is intended for software development and most domains there would probably be using DV only so this might not apply to it, though.

OV is useless. No consumers look at it. It’s just a sad attempt for CAs to trick people into paying for something they don’t need.

Do you even use Amazon or Internet banking?

It might sound useless for those who doesn't know what it is.

However, for those who does it is very useful and getting more useful.

Browsers might (if not yet, coming soon to you) raise red flags if you try to use a website whose certificate was signed by a rogue CA that, according to DNS instructions, shouldn't be able to do so for that domain.

Browsers might demand OV from high profile websites in theory.

etc, etc, etc.

Maybe we are

Is Youtube really a money loser? I thought they'd turned it profitable years ago.

Maps - in flux like you said.

Phones are more than hardware sales. They also run an app store and license their own ecosystem.
