this is why I never understood the need for a single identity in plus, google knows behind the scenes who you actually are and can show you the correct ads so why force someone into a single public facing identity?

google was jealous. they were doing a ton of work trying to track and correlate users across sites, and here comes Facebook and people will just *give* them all the information they want. age, religion, relationship status, education level, and a whole network of relations. things that had to be algorithmically guessed using big data was just there, freely offered. Facebook spends less money on traffic acquisition and gets paid more for their ads.

youll never convince me a libertarian has ever wanted to solve any problem that wasnt "i dont have enough money"

libertarians (the poor kind, not the rich assholes) are naive morons. the kind of people that believe that magically everything would be better if we replaced firemen and food inspectors with corporations are also the kind that believe unfiltered free speech will make society better.

it's basically a position of no thought where you take it as axiomatic that more freedom is always the answer to every problem and then you can turn your brain off the rest of the day and just coast and frankly i can see the attraction.

while google plus is dead, google executives continue to make their own circles, such as ones for their family, ones for the subordinates they’re loving, and ones for their other secret family.

take the most recent example, one David Drummond, senior vice president and chief legal officer of alphabet. he started dating a woman who worked for him, had a child with her, and then had her transferred out of his department, ghosted her, denied child support, and started sleeping with another employee. oh, he’s also married with kids. again, he is the top lawyer in the company.

this follows the examples of known sleaze-bags Erik Schmidt (sex-dungeon owner and burning-man creep), Andy Rubin (wife swapper fired for harassment), and Sergei Brin (intern fucker).
