It’s the business model. Even here at HN we’re comparing X and Y, having deep thoughts about core technologies before getting caught off-guard when a tech company does exactly the same they’ve been doing for decades. It’s like if you change the logo, update the buzzwords, and conform to the neo-leadership of vagueposting and ”brutal honesty” you can pull the exact same playbook and even insiders are shocked pikachu when they do the most logical things for growth, engagement and market dominance.

If there’s any difference in this round, it’s that they’re more lean at cutting to the chase, with less fluff like ”do no evil” and ”make the world a better place” diversions.
