Thanks.
Being a CEO must be amazing. You can fail and even bring an entire company down, and keep on getting the same job somewhere else.

I get your point but from a business perspective Google is doing pretty well (see last quarterly earning and they announced dividends for the first time). It's good to be a shareholder and from that perspective the CEO is doing a good job.

Time and time again markets have shown, within reason, poor user experience and anti-consumer policies do not negatively impact stock price.

Sure but Google Search has been crappy for many quarters.

I'm not saying thats how it should be, I'm just pointing out what is.
