    I learn about most of Google projects, when they die.

      They just buy good ideas to monetize the shit out of them without giving users new features, and when the revneu stream dies, they kill the app and but the “next best thing”.

      Essentially, Google is killing creativity, expansion, usability and profitability for small companies just for the “ad revenue”.

      I’m de-googling as fast as I can.

        Is it really that? Man, this sucks. I thought all these were just R&D projects coming from Google themselves and they shut it when they find out it didn’t work the way they hoped.

          That was true for some of the early projects. I doubt that they actually develop any of their tech from scratch now. It’s way easier to just buy it from someone else
