It’s fashionable to bash Google+ and ignore/diminish its contributions. Almost all features in Google Photos for the first 1.5 years of its existence already existed in Google+. Further, the infrastructure that the Google+ team created runs a very high percentage of Google servers today (excluding Search), and ships in a lot of Android and iOS apps by Google. For insiders, I am referring to Boq, BoqWeb, Wiz, Tiktok, and Service Registry.
