Simple was the worst offender-- I should have known with the multi-year wait, to be capped off by bigoted comments from a cofounder to me on twitter (about an unrelated matter. But hey, your CxO makes a bigoted comment- I'm no longer your customer!)
But it's not just Simple, it's google with the wave invites, google with the gmail invites going back when, google with the orkut invites, google with the Plus invites, etc.
No more, Google.

Going from internal testing to everyone on the Web using a service can be pretty rough. [Disclosure: I work for Google, but not on anything related to Inbox or Gmail]
