They’ve even got their own mascot. It’s a gravestone.

    Here's a Halloween thing they did: https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2019/10/4/20899198/google-reader-gravestone-crypt-rip-picasa-buzz-wave-orkut https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2019/10/4/20899198/google-read... I've got mixed feelings about this. Google's frequent "killings" have caused me to never trust them or want to buy in to their products. But at the same time I think that it is good to "honor" "dead" products. Those products encompassed millions of hours of blood and sweat and toil and so on. I don't know the best way to memorialize that but sanitizing them from history entirely ain't it.

      A lot of us got there a few years ago. So the perverse incentive is that many of the people who would shun them have already, so why not keep misbehaving?
