It's legit just not caring about customers.
- Want to keep using RSS? Fuck you.
- Want to keep using Google Wave? Fuck you.
- Want support on your adsense account? Lol, nope.
- Account got banned or limited inappropriately? Fuck you.
- Want to keep your YouTube and Google accounts separate? Fuck you.
- Want to get your domain whitelisted in Gmail? Fuck you.
I could go on and on..
They simply do not care about their customers.
- Andrex 7y agoA customer is someone who pays for a service, and I'm not sure the listed examples qualify.
- dna_polymerase 7y agoPeople keep repeating this bullshit, but it is wrong. People using their services, albeit free of charge, are their customers. They are the ones who click on ads. They are the ones who drive most of their revenue. Everything around search serves the same purpose: keep people happy on their platform so they keep using search and click ads.
- JimDabell 7y agoSome companies try to disrupt markets, but Google tends to disrupt their customers. Not sure that makes sense.
- chrshawkes 7y agoI've personally known this for a decade and I'm glad people are finally getting pissed off with Google's arbitrary stranglehold on the rules and regulations of the WWW. You either play by their rules or you go out of business. Their rules suck though. AMP can go straight to hell.
- georgeecollins 7y agoI also think they have issues with developers because they abandon technologies that they push for a while and constantly break backward compatibility. A lot of times they are doing this with a good technical intent. But its like they are telling you that you need to invest in retooling your apps for their platforms. If it isn't worth it to you-- too bad so sad.
