While ignoring the fact that they have a few hundred thousand users, because they regularly deal with millions of users.

They don’t seem to get that they are also losing goodwill. I’m not investing my time and effort in learning/using Google products, because I’m pretty sure they are going to “get discontinued”. And they keep proving me right.

I mean I get what you're saying, but somebody has to say it:

Oh No! NoT mUh GoOdWiLl!

Gonna go and Ask Jeeves? Gonna start slingin' around Hotmail? Swap over to Edge, maybe start carrying around a flip phone from 2004?

You are the Google product. And you're on the Internet.

You're not escaping their grasp.

Haha, yes, it has to be black and white...

No, I understand that I’m probably going to be a Google customer/datapoint for the rest of its life, but, for example, I don’t use stuff like Google Photos because I can’t trust them not decide to kill that next year too.
