The service where they crowd sourced 2/3 of their catalogue from "sharecare" pirate bears?

Absolutely not our problem. They can come up with other business models. Maybe they can resurrect one of the hundreds of projects/business models from them at https://killedbygoogle.com/ and run with that

It's much cheaper than the money they make on it though. Hence all the profits.
