| Thinking Gmail costs "millions to develop" sounds exactly like the kind of price unawareness that comes from that family. I would bet the Gmail team has single employee salaries in that range. |

| To be fair, millions could be hundreds of millions. |

| What do these million dollar salary employees at Gmail do? |

| ▲ | Den_VR 9 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Three things, not all of which any specific employee does:
1. Fix security issues
2. Create “features” in order to seem useful that the world was better without
3. Rest upon laurels of gmail from 15 years ago | |
| ▲ | d4mi3n 9 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Make Google multiple millions by improving ad delivery and conversion within Gmail. Probably by also helping Google land big corporate or public contracts, but last I checked most of the money was made via ads in the free tier of GMail. |
