Then I’ll keep the roku and cancel youtube premium. Google is just the worst.

  My perception of Google has shifted from the kid in the candy store feeling I used to get about anything Google touched. Now I'm skeptical of every move they make and don't feel like they are operating in my best interest. Maybe I was always naive but the Google I knew 10+ years ago isn't the one I know today and it makes me sad.

    The Google founders started the process of stepping down around 10 years ago. Pretty sure this was the turning point and the company just got worse since then: > The explanation that Page posted Tuesday on his Google Plus profile cleared up a mystery hanging over him since he lost his voice a year ago, causing him to miss Google Inc.'s annual shareholders meeting in June and a conference call to discuss the company's quarterly earnings in July. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/google-ceo-larry-page-discloses-health-issue-1.1302245 https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/google-ceo-larry-page-discl...

      Medical reasons aside everything I've seen on them stepping away hints that they were unhappy with (although resigned to) the corporate behemoth that Google had become. It could no longer do things the way it did that made it so successful. I think we've seen their fears of that these past 10 years.
