"Few companies have trashed their own reputations over the past decade as completely as Google has. Its messaging app strategy is a ridiculous mess. It kills popular services like Google Cloud Print, Works With Nest, Google Inbox, and Hangouts Chat. Nobody — not even developers — trusts Stadia to exist in 2-3 years, because nobody trusts Google to actually invest in a project long enough to bring it to fruition, or to support a successful service that's just smaller than Google wanted it to be. Google's response to this distrust is to fail to offer any meaningful service guarantees. And that's before we get to other minor issues, like its willingness to collaborate with the Chinese government to surveil Chinese citizens, at a time when China is publicly using such surveillance to stifle discussion of its human rights abuses. Plenty of folks are still upset about Google Reader, for that matter."
