      It is classic tech company strategy.

      We saw it with Amazon offering suspicious deals for years on name brand stuff to kill competitors. Uber offering subsidized rides to kill taxis. Google Photos offering unlimited free storage

      If it seems too good to be true, check under your feet and see if there’s a rug there.
