| Jun 27, 2021 at 11:36 | comment | added | Peter Rosemann | Even if big firms are willing to finance this collective adventure of StackOverflow, does it imply that employees are more clever than the community? Somehow I doubt this, because that the reason why StackOverflow became successful in the first place. And if you like to do it right, because the current is it not, then open Collectives to Open Source initiatives and, e.g., make each Open Source Community a Collective. Here we would have at least the certainty that the Open Source-driven answers have a value. However, I fear that this will invite, e.g., the company marketing person "answers." | |
| Jun 24, 2021 at 14:20 | comment | added | 0Valt | @TylerH I only referred to the "I have doubts the big firms ... will run here to give you their money." - apparently they do. And that's what a bit worries me - checks and balances or not, one has to convince another that the money they spend brings them value - which makes me a little worried because if the feature's going to play out as promised, there is little value I see (and that's what makes me a little paranoid) | |
| Jun 24, 2021 at 14:14 | comment | added | TylerH | @OlegValter Things don't have to have value for Google to invest money in them. That's the downside of having more money than god; even a low level manager is authorized to spend millions of dollars with no checks/balances. | |

Brevity. Added some context.

| Jun 24, 2021 at 8:32 | comment | added | 0Valt | agreed with 4386427 here - Google has been interested in SO for a long time, and they seem to be on board with this. Although that brings a question: if big companies are interested the value proposition should've been substantial. Which makes me a little paranoid. | |
| Jun 24, 2021 at 8:29 | comment | added | 4386427 | I do agree that (big and successful) companies should run their own support and marketing/promotion. It's not what SO is for. But... hmmm... apparently Google is interested and isn't it fair to say that Google is pretty big and successful ? | |
