@jiva@devoe.social @mrzaius@hachyderm.io @uliwitness@chaos.social Well, if at base it's related to cost savings, there's nothing in the incentives or motives that ensures the happy accident of charity rather than, say, a different route for capturing those sales without Google. That is, in this case that route went charity, but the incentives are as likely to produce non-altruistic outcomes, and those outcomes might be good, bad, or neutral in terms of social benefits.
