    Yeah google maps is still the GOAT as much as I wish it wasn’t.

      I imagine they’re really itching to torpedo it somehow. Surprisingly long time for them not to do so.

        Idk, it’s driving a ton of ad revenue (sponsored businesses and whatnot), why would they nuke it? They also get free boosting from users leaving reviews as well.

        It’s not as lucrative as search, but I would be very surprised if it’s a loss-leader. Surely it’s not costing $5+B to run…
