YOU CAN’T TRUST GOOGLE

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Google is likely to discontinue any service that it cannot directly monetize with ads at a large scale. Its primary business is advertising, not products or services, and this is reflected in their poor customer service. The recent discontinuation of Google Domains and the neglect of Google Home/Nest are examples of this. Users of Google's products and services are warned to always have a backup plan, as any Google offering could be discontinued without much notice.
