It's been a long time brewing with how Google manages projects and people, and Sundar is just the dipshit who's been helming it. Google needs a rethink, because once the ad market collapses (and it will collapse, they're helping it along with their crusade against YouTube) they will be rudderless and moneyless.
I really wish I was motivated to finish my transition off Google because right now, storage and email are the two things left to address. And without funding, I can't keep investing in NAS storage, or be bothered to move off Gmail for a new email vendor (which has its own problems with any non-Google email sinking into someone's XBL).
What are you paying for Google storage that it's cheaper than NAS storage?
Maybe they're still on a G Suite Business / Workspace with the storage quota exceeded. Until earlier this year, Google didn't do anything about exceeded quotas, and many had more than the included 5TB stored in their drive. I've seen people who had 100s of TB! I myself "only" have ~25TB, which I'm finally downloading to my local storage these days. When Google began caring about the storage quotas, they froze all accounts with exceeded quotas, blocking any new uploads – but if you keep paying the subscription (~20€), they'll retain the frozen files for an extended time period of a year or two (don't remember) after they gave the first notice.
google owns youtube bro. you mean crusade against adblockers on youtube i suppose
