It's "shareholder-linked" (probably not "driven"), but yes, upvoted. Nonetheless, even when with grave faults in the path, Google has managed to give us marvellous, paramount free resources (Google Street, Google Museum...), and would have given more (Google Books - if the negotiation had succeeded). I am grateful.
Google Streetview/maps isn't even the best mapping/'streetview' tool at this point. Filled with ads and bugs, some major bugs have been there for 10+ years.
For maps there's quite a few, just anything that doesn't have the amount of ads beats it. For Streetview apple lookaround is a better experience if it's mapped well in your area.
I believe Google has been trying to improve their Streetview in coverage as apple has become a concurrent, but it still has the same bugs people have been complaining about for years (like going backward when pressing forward type of bad). If I remember correctly the bugs have been 'closed' or something before just to include it in the same slightly different way.
And which public enterprise has undertaken those projects?
Looking at current hot problems, and exemplary of the situation: which public entities have endeavoured to backup the most important channels and videos from YouTube, the current historic video archive?
Why would I be grateful?! Because somebody did create those resources and made them available! And they did to common good (if anybody refused the expression "for" common good).
# How Did the Nation Get Its Name? Other Suggestions Included the United Colonies, Columbia and the United States of Alleghania // The nascent country adopted its name 250 years ago, on September 9, 1776. Americans have debated the moniker ever since. One congressman even [possibly satirically] proposed the "United States of the Earth"

A proper non ambiguous name for the USA is a theoretical problem that may bug some in some fraction of some sleepless night. The problem now has 250 years.
As I am writing, after many years of occasional consideration (for the sake of not leaving puzzles unresolved), I had the realization that the one unambiguous name would probably be the acronym (initialism) "USA". And I see that reflecting that in a sightly word that would be pronounced like the initialism is another problem.
Genuinely interested, which ones do you think have relevance?
If I read forums and talk to people IRL most have differing opinions what model is best. Yes, for me it's pretty clear Opus is better than earlier models, but it's at least not obvious to me that the later are significant improvements.
I wouldn't call this a bias. More likely an A/B tested find that (1) algorithmic YouTube video-surfacing with keyword "graph" plus AI related name-dropping was effective, and (2) the already well established journalistic trick of leading with fear to trigger loss-aversion, as "prompting is soon dead" implies some threat of skills-value loss for the reader.
driving engagement to scrape the bottom of our ad-driven engagement dis-attention economy, tragedy of the commons pure.
It's simply the "HR failure" plus the "unintended web" plus the "shamelessness pride" - where free expression is accessible to both poles in the vectors and the agents wear a blank mask, and the message is "self-expression" (postmodern performance "through the medium of posting") instead of debate.
You did not put quote marks (and were not literal in quoting), so we may interpret that you would not accept advice from non kind people (what?!).
Besides the basic logic that it should be advice from people with good judgement that one should accept, what should instead be revealing and a red alert is

I made and supported my initial claim. The burden of proof here is on the person who claimed that the etymology of "nobility" somehow disproves my initial claim.
Not your initial claim: the claim of the median human not being aware of basic dictionary and ethics.
Of course psychopathy as lack of restraint facilitates amassing riches.
To state the absence of family and schools and contact with books for a majority indicates a weird world view, or an impossibility to put heterogeneous populations in the same basket.
