>Flutter grew in a bubble, largely insulated from the changes Google was experiencing at the same time. Google's culture eroded. Decisions went from being made for the benefit of users, to the benefit of Google, to the benefit of whoever was making the decision. Transparency evaporated. Where previously I would eagerly attend every company-wide meeting to learn what was happening, I found myself now able to predict the answers executives would give word for word. Today, I don't know anyone at Google who could explain what Google's vision is. Morale is at an all-time low. If you talk to therapists in the bay area, they will tell you all their Google clients are unhappy with Google.

I invested in Google back in 2005. I sold off my shares and stopped using google search a few years ago when they started making obviously politically movivated alterations to search results and started using Brave in lieu of Chrome.

I wonder when that happened relative to the time period he's talking about. Unfortunately I can't go back that far in my bank to see exactly when I divested myself of their stock. But it has to be more than 3 years (my bank's limitation)
