Why Does Google Kill So Many Products? | Untangled
Ғылым және технология
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.

Breaking News: Be careful not to search for any idea or keyword or combinations of words for a theory or an idea! If you drop a suggestion in the suggestion box at any business expect them to capitalize on your idea! Republic of China is Communist! China was not going to give Google it's peoples browsing data to Google to profit from because Communist China was going to profit from it's peoples data! The kicker is; China then stole all the data/ideas they got from Google or copied it. Google got many other countries to sign on board with there contract and just like you click accept without reading, your privacy, thoughts, questions and ideas all become Googles! Our politicians ask dumb questions and sometimes real good ones, meanwhile big tech owns you until real people get rid of the bad ones who are on the take! 11/2/2021. They just all word it differently in their favor of course.

I sincerely doubt they will. Because it's free and unlimited with nifty AI features, so many people use it and when you think about it, that means they're invested into the Google system. Google has tonnes of data to use to get it's sticky fingers into the lives of everyone. I think Google photos is a mainstay as it gets people to give heaps of data. Google's #1 tool.

This is my single biggest critique of Google and the Google ecosystem. It creates this uncertainty around a new Google service and it ensures that I never get too attached or invested. I purposely have to not full heartedly love a new Google service, simply because it could go away and have me searching again. This is something Apple does very well. They keep their apps and services around - instead of completely replacing their service (e.g. Hangouts) with others (e.g. Allo and Duo), they would update their existing service e.g. iMessage. Just look at the iOS 9 to iOS 10 transition, there were massive changes to iMessage, but it was still the iMessage that everyone knows and loves. This also makes it easier for Apple with buy in. If someone is new to the Apple ecosystem, they are a lot more likely to try iMessage because they saw ads or videos about it, they know a ton of people who use it and it is a known entity. I avoid Google's messaging and social platforms like the plague.

Some of my friends and I still use Hangouts. It's only a matter of time now....
Because it's a system of operation. Silicon Valley operates on the idea that you must fail a lot before you succeed... Just like VC companies invest in people who've had failures. They will fail hundreds of times for every massive success. But you will LOVE those successes. I don't like Google. I don't like any company that uses Censorship. And on top of that they are greedy enough to develop software for the communist China government that will lead to people being in prison for thoughtcrime. That is the very definition of evil, IMO.

I used google+ for 6 years, for several hours per day. I met pretty much all my online friends on there, and then they tore it down. It felt like watching your highschool get torn down. We moved on to Mewe, but in the process the whole somewhat tightly knit group fell apart.
I don't understand why video calling should be separate from audio calls. For example, Facebook Messenger also has video calling capabilities but no one uses it for some reason.
Good riddance to Google Minus; especially with that forced integration from years ago.
When you're a big enough company you could create and destroy whatever you want
You guys should do a video about the Huawei ban
I'm glad you mentioned the paranoia that comes with using obscure Google services that aren't mainstream. I, and I'm sure many others, don't buy Google hardware or invest heavily into paid Google products because of the fear it will be shut down. Stadia for example; I would be okay paying for the monthly subscription, but I won't buy a controller, because of Google's reputation of keeping services alive for 2-3 years and then killing them off when it no longer suits them.

I convinced all my friends to get all amd then they killed it
I just wish that one day Google will come with some better Social Media Platform. Bcz G+ was good, but the sad part is they didn't cope up with the competition, they didn't even bother to add new UI, features etc.. It was almost the same in 2019 which I used to have back in 2013.

I really miss goog-411. There's still a lot of places where cell phone reception sucks and one bar of service means you only get calling and text.
I feel even more neglected by the fact I apparently am still to this day considered one of those idiots who did enjoy Google+ I met some of the best people in my life there and I had stopped using any other social network, since it kept me away from the toxicity of other places like Twitter or Reddit, but with the same freedom. I still need Google+ back, I cannot stay on KZread only, but every other place I got ends up in drama, toxic arguments with people, frustration by seeing all the popular submissions being overrated trash, and I just don't have any place to stay in and have a good time anymore, I lost half of my friends from Google+, one of them really needed my support because they were going through some rough times and then the platform died and I never saw them again, along with tons of other people I used to really like talking with.
