But from what I've gleaned, his expertise lies primarily in failing upwards, ascending through the ranks of technology on the momentum from the explosions he's caused. In a Wired interview from 2021, glad handler Stephen Levy said Raghavan isn't the CEO of Google, he just runs the place, and described his addition to the company as a move from research to management.

While Levy calls him a world-class computer scientist who has authored definitive texts in the field, which is true, he also describes Raghavan as choosing a management track, which definitely tracks with everything I've found out about him.

Raghavan proudly declares that Google's third-party ad tech plays a critical role in keeping journalism alive in a really shitty answer to a question that was also made at a time when he was aggressively incentivizing search engine-optimized content, and a year after he'd deposed someone who actually gave a shit about search.

Under Raghavan, Google has become less reliable and is dominated by search engine optimization and just outright spam. And I've said this before, but look, we complain about the state of Twitter under Elon Musk. And justifiably, he's a vile anti-semi-racist bigot. We all know this. It's fully true. We can say it a million times.

However, I'd argue that Raghavan, and by extension, Sundar Pichai, deserve a hundred times more criticism. They've done unfathomable damage to society. You really can't fix the damage they've been doing and the damage they'll continue to do, especially as we go into an election.

Raghavan and his cronies worked to oust Ben Gomes, a man who dedicated a good portion of his life to making the world's information more accessible. in the process burning the Library of Alexandria to the goddamn ground so that Sundar Pichai could make more than $200 million a year.

And Raghavan, a manager hired by Sundar Pichai, a former McKinsey man, the king of managers, is an example of everything wrong with the tech industry.
