Why Does Google Kill So Many Products? | Untangled

Google cancels, kills, and transitions a lot of products. Google has killed apps like Allo and Inbox as well as hardware like Nexus phones and Chromecast Audio. Even services like Google and Hangouts are being shut down. Google experiments on a lot of projects but they don't always follow through. Google's, "see what sticks" approach can leave users skeptical about the longevity of new Google services.

Google better not kill Google Photos. I have invested a lot of time in organising my library

[johndrake]

I'm still pissed about Inbox. Best email client by far and they've yet to migrate all the features and UI to their inferior Gmail.

[blucow]

as long as they keep Google Drive, Docs and Keep Notes I'm good

[RayMak]

Will youtube stick around? If they end, I'll be sleeping on streets

[alanwisdom]

One day Google during a crazy brain storming will close Google 😆

[lyrxczxd]

I used to use google + but then google killed it like a heresy

[vikaskrishnan]

Google is like final destination.
You never know which product or service will be dead.

Former moderator of Google+, alot of mismanagement with the site led to its demise, behind the scenes there was so much drama it was ridiculous, spam bots using targeted software, awful UI changes, mods went agianst during beta testing and while communities were great, the cracks started showing around 2016 when everyones followers reset and bots took over, Google stopped caring.

Imagine google killing YouTube


Lol internet’s 30% of bandwidth is going down XD

[kulbhushanrajguru]

Google: introduces new app.
Me: Don't do that. Don't give me hope.

[sovietunionsmostnotoriousk]

4:05 But, there’s no guarantee that it will stick around.
Me: *Laughs in 2020*

[junlinwu]

So mad about Inbox. It was by far the best email client and Google still hasn't put all of Inbox's features in Gmail. Mad af

[mateogonzalez]

Hangouts allowed to send images and videos with full resolution perfect for pictures with a lot of text (like a homework) something other messages apps don't do.

*cries in sony sketch*
*screams in minecraftforum*
*whines in google+*
edit: minecraftforums will not be shutdown they got bought by another company

[ninjanerdstudent]

I only used google plus for the auto backup, the auto backup lived on in google photos. I'm happy.

[ZekeGotViews]

Damn, I kind of liked Hangouts, oh well

[carlg]

There’s no point investing in dead products or services that are outdated.

[octoberskye]

I used Google Plus and sincerely liked it. A large part of the community migrated to MeWe. G+ was far superior. Bad decision, Google. 🐯
