Is Microsoft out of their minds?
What value can they get out of this? Know what everyone is working on, who is hiring what for how much? More than this? What am I missing?

Now that they lost mobile, have no social assets to speak for, maybe get some proper R&D done with the information of who is working in each industry?
Now they have information on people and the companies hiring those people. You can probably even make pretty accurate guesses on projects other companies are working on based certain shared skills of the people they are hiring or contacting.

They're clearly poising themselves to offer intelligence-as-a-service. Hilarious how many normies """""upgraded""""" directly into the spiderweb.

Did you forget that Microsoft is led by literal poo masquerading as Nutella?

Nutella is great. Don't diminish it by associating it with Microshat.
