    Why on earth would running a service that actually costs money be a good idea for company so deep in a hole on a webservice that’s comparatively free to run.

      It’s almost definitely a bogus or halfhearted announcement to pump the stock price. Announce a new service to make people think that there’s some future SOMEWHERE for big profits. Like you see Musk doing (recent 8/8 announcement for Tesla) for example.

      In this case specifically to preserve a Trump payout.

      And…It did not work.
