Terrible, I'd argue the vast majority of modern big tech offerings are extremely poor quality where the need for surveillance in the form of constant monitoring/advertising metrics deliberately makes these types of services more costly to maintain and repair over time. Sure there are like 3 or 5 decent services out there (like S3) but the vast majority are over engineered to be user hostile while extracting out whatever resources they can from their customers.
