    So what is the next step for Google? Raising YT TV to $100/month? $200/month? Raising Youtube Premium to $30/month? Google one to $200/month? Laying off employees?

    I mean they gotta keep hitting that 5% growth every year, right? When does it stop? When there’s nobody else at the company? When people can’t afford anything anymore and go bankrupt?

    When are companies gonna understand that growth for the sake of growth every year is just not feasable?

      It’s not a matter of understanding the failure is systemic.

      Shareholders only buy shares for the expected growth, not so much for the dividends. Dividends are literally pennies on the hundred dollar costs. Single digits percent annually.

        At some point prices have to adjust to material reality and someone will lose money. Sometimes expected growth is not possible.
