If google goes down someone else will fill the void. And I don’t give a shit about their numbers, if it’s not financially feasible to host everything without running a loss for years to extinguish competition and then to hike up the price, they should have thought of that before.
Aside from that, any Corp that goes down is a victory in my book.

It's become something that should not be under corporate control. Something which should be treated with care and reverence.
Yet it is, and isn't.
