I see the appeal. But I gotta say to constraint yourself to only California or Rotterdam is kind of missing that hacker vibe that cares about results and content. Not just hype.

Only 2 of the FAANGs are primarily ad based, which is not even a majority of the group. Presumably you know that too. So this comes off as evading the question.

But to give your comment the most charitable interpretation:

Why would they not save up an 8 figure sum after a few years and invest in your company, or start a competitor?

Some of the FAANGs are also building self driving cars.

Sold!
