How many FTEs do they have running G+? There are a bunch of OSS people that use it because Facebook sucks and Twitter is toxic.

The good will from the OSS community in maintaining G+ can be easily paid for in the 250% growth you referenced. And please, save me from the 'we need to double down and focus on products that matter' - no, you need to maintain some credibility for your product ownership.

That's why I don't spend a single dollar with GCE.

Shouldn't the OSS community be using an OSS social media network like Mastodon anyway?

Not if they want a reasonable amount of people to actually see what they’ve written...
