This sounds more like a fantasy based on questionable ideas of karma or natural justice than an actual business consideration for Google.

- horsawlarway 6y agoReader wasn't the breaking point for my company, but there's a clear trend in Google products - They will break your API contracts, and break them often. - They will likely be end-of-lifed, usually 2 to 5 years after implementation (perfect timing for the devs at your company that did the original implementation to have mostly moved on to a different company, so lots of domain knowledge loss right before a major product shift) - They often look shiny but run like absolute fucking dogshit. I don't know if you've loaded GCP console (or hell, even just gmail)_recently, but prepare to spend 30+ seconds waiting for the initial pageload to finish. ---- I have influence on which products we purchase and use. We do not use Google for anything in production (with the exception of our Android app, for fairly obvious reasons). Again, reader didn't break the camel's back, but it sure added some weight.
