You might want to google what kind of "ownership" a class A share actually gets you if you want to trade this market.
Ok, pumpkin?

Voting rights and ownership are two distinctly different things, but you’re incorrect if you think the Class A shares of Google(GOOGL) don’t impart either.
Class B shares are held by the founders and have 10X voting rights of Class A shares.
Class C shares confer the same ownership as Class A shares, but do not have any voting rights.
Either way, the collective ownership structure of the business ultimately decides how cash flows are allocated.
