If your entire business is based on user-generated content, and said content represents almost all of your IP, and the business idea is people visit your internet property to gain access to that content...then selling it all in one go to another company so people can go to that other company's internet property to get the value from said content...maybe I'm missing something, but that feels short-sighted in a pretty obvious way.
And it wouldn't be cheap, but you could have used that other company's tech (or rather, OSS equivalents) to build a killer market-specific query product that exclusively leverages all that UGC. And you could potentially mitigate a dependency you have on another giant tech company (GOOG), where you're at risk of them pulling the rug out from under your entire business at any time.

So if he runs around throwing money in the air, eight hours a day, he’ll have to throw a little over two million dollars an hour.”
Marianne Vos is literally the GOAT and it is not even close

2nd best man is Sean Kelly at 159
I don't have time to calculate winning % but safe to assume it's way better than the men.

A little under 20 years since her first big win at the junior world champs
"there’s no disgrace in losing to a legend like Marianne Vos. Across all formats, taking in the road, cyclocross and the track, her win today is her 14th World Championships title"
