You might have missed it but the OP's comment was dripping in literal sarcasm. Google's track record for product management is poor.

As opposed to the usual, figurative sarcasm. (Just kidding.)

“literal sarcasm” is using “literal” figuratively.

I initially thought it had to be the postings of an army of sycophantic bots. Need more coffee.

I like the moniker "elfing" applied to this form of sarcasm, as an opposite of "trolling".
