I'm not following, and rereading the thread now it looks like it's been edited to the point of not making sense. I thought the thread was something like:
> What pop artist makes that much?
>> Swift
>>> But she's the top of pop artists, that's not a fair comparison (implied: because google should be paying a more "normal" amount)
In which case "but Google is the top of tech" would be a fair counterpoint. But if the argument is that even the top of pop artists doesn't come close, then... I'm not sure what argument we're having, actually, but yes, it's a different point.
