No, it didn’t make sense to take an existing and useful site like Google Finance and dumb it down to make it a part of Search instead.
If it made sense, then there wouldn’t be a need to reverse course today.
I think it only makes sense if you look at the incentives of Google as a corporation, and disregard the opinions of the people who used and liked Google Finance.
- rohan1024 6y agoYesterday I saw a post on Indian investment subreddit where people were discussing how they switched to Google sheets after Google finance since it allows fetching data for stocks in spreadsheets using some function. Anyhow it doesn't seem like Google might have ditched finance for this result. Increase in sheets usage is just a side effect.
