I hate that google shuts down things too and I wonder what things I should avoid at the same time, I know that nearly every company, google no exception, has less person power than they need. So at some point a triage happens because they can't keep people on every project. And, yes, they are laying people off which makes it worse. even if they didn't lay people off this issue would still exist. maybe you could argue the problem is they shouldn't launch the service in the first place. I don't know if that would be better or not

Google is in a league of their own though. They have killed so many IM services I can't even keep track anymore. And then when they fail to grab market share they lobby legislators to bully Apple...

" I know that nearly every company, google no exception, has less person power than they need. " That's a wild statement to make when looking at Alphabet. Their core products could be run on a fraction of the tens of thousands they employ. They are a hugely flabby company which lacks focus, not resources. They dabble in anything new that comes along, looking for a new hit and almost never succeed. Almost everything outside Search that you could call a success Google acquired. Despite decades of attempts their rate of producing homegrown hits is utterly dismal. Their advertising success blinds people to what an inept organization Google are.
