Billion $ company buys an awesome product -> Billion $ company shuts down the awesome product. Typical day. Nothing to see here. Move on.

  Is there a way (outside of founder stubbornness) to reverse this norm? It's a pity that this has become the trend.

    Pay for products. Use companies that have a real business model.

        Ostensibly they did, but early on they had so many coupon codes and promotions that I never once actually paid for it. And then it went free for a year after the Google acquisition.
