Oddly, breaking it up may give some items a better chance at living? Ostensibly, one of the main drivers of that graveyard is the monorepo nature of how they rollout changes, combined with them moving people off of projects. Splitting them directly addresses both of those?
- at_a_remove 2y agoAgain, which items? Google Sets? Ain't nobody gonna pay for that! Chromecast? Google Domains? I am scrolling through the list and not seeing much that would stand on its own two feet. Stadia? Google+? I'm just not seeing much that can stand on its own, that people will pay for without it resorting to an ad model to support it.

The problem with a lot of Google services is that they have to generate enough ad revenue to offset the high cost of development and maintenance that Google's operating style leads to. Ostensibly, you could have some of these stand on cheaper practices?
