>it does not prove that google are running that testnet nod
Oh but it does.
What went wrong?

but they don't have to pay market price for the linkies. They don't even buy them if I remember the whitepaper correctly
The node hasn't effected price yet though, hopefully the node number grows enough to pump this shit but your reasoning is weak at best

Read again.
The people using Google Cloud's node will have to pay for the Linkies.
So will the people running their own Chainlink BigQuery node. And THEIR users.
>The node hasn't effected price yet though
It has, but not fully of course.
Mainnet is still in its early limited phase; currently the only mainnet nodes are hand-picked by Chainlink and all they do is feed the ETH price.

except querying from BigQuery is literally free
Google taking part in writing the documentation (which is mostly copy pasted from documentation for other nodes) does not imply there is a server that belongs to google that runs a chainlink node.

No it's not lol.

Google Cloud literally calls it "OUR docummentation".
It sounds like you're having some cognitive dissonance.

And even if querying from BigQuery were free (which it isn't), the point is that using Chainlink requires Link tokens.
