And to be fair, they were upfront about it…
The problem now is that 1) Google products turned from innovative to barely functional (with every improvement coming in a soon to be killed new app) and 2) they went from your data to show you ads to profiling people’s fart strength
Now that I think of it, thesgiy e free products also differ from inflation … You get to pay with even more of your privacy for an increasingly shittier product
With the rate of turnover at tech companies, some of their more fundamental legacy offerings are just black boxes at this point.
I believe 100% that to be the case
