With this track record I never plan on using a new google product. Now, I will immediately stop using or sell anything I have that is acquired by google. It seems like they're only capable of leaving a trail of corpses of past good ideas.
They haven't released a Dropcam in 8 years? "Nest Secure" was cancelled in 2020.. and now they're saying "hey, we'll actually turn things off in 2024"
I think the reason killedbygoogle.com actually exists is because they try to be professional about notifying folks of things they are EoL, and communicate updates along the way.
>I will immediately stop using or sell anything I have that is acquired by google.
This is the crux though. You could be totally satisfied with a non-Googly product, but suddenly become a Googly user when Googs buys the successful company. I feel this way about Amazon buying the Roomba company.
I heard this news and was all set to be annoyed, since I have a Dropcam we set up when we're away from the house for longer trips, but then I checked my records and realized I've had it for 9 years, & of course they're only sunsetting it NEXT year.
