I mean, it's a good quip, but it's autocorrect, and we don't get stock options we get restricted stock units :P

One of the reasons why I work at Google is, as a former web developer I didn't feel AMP was a problem. I did feel MAVEN was a problem, despite what that could do for my stocks. I get the criticism and do think AMP has a lot of problems, but I also think it's crazy that's what we are talking about in an article about oil and gas activism. /Shrug

How does Google manipulate people through advertising?

Did you ever watch Television growing up ? Or you're bitter because it's cool to be anti Google these days.

If Googlers weren't criticizing their own company's behavior there wouldn't be news stories every week about the new thing Googlers are criticizing Google about.

I find that Googlers as a whole are way more willing to criticize Google (both publicly and internally) than employees any other company I've worked for.
