There are zero reasons to trust Google at all, so… I don’t know the “anymore” part…
Not because they shut down services but because they are Google. Part of the five eyes surveillance network, buddies with nsa and all those guys. Also will sell your private data to get rich, that’s their entire business idea.
I’ve always found it hilarious that they give people a web page to put their private searches in, and they do it!
I don’t like Zuckerberg but his opinion about people just randomly uploading anything personal to Facebook and trusting him (he called those people dumb fucks when he was younger)… It is kind of true.
Every private company does that, it’s not that if you avoid Google you’re free of it.
Unfortunately not everyone cares that much about privacy but definitely everyone cares about having a service that’s reliable in the long run, hence the “not anymore”.
Well they give people a web page to put their private searches in and then they perform a search and amongst peers, Google has historically done it the best. That’s not a minor detail, it’s not particularly realistic to use the modern web without a search engine and they’re not secretive about the business model. That doesn’t make it particularly great, especially for privacy, but people are unlikely to pay for web searching.
Thats what frustrates me so much. People pay for their morning coffee, their ride to work, streaming TV subscriptions, Spotify and so on… but when it comes to searching the web, it should just be provided as a free service?
I know traditionally it was, but now we have no privacy and ads everywhere. Somehow people are OK with that I guess. But im really not…
Even though Apple is a trash company as well, they have one thing going for them, which is if they do something today, I am fairly confident it will be around going into the future, no matter what
Doesn’t Microsoft do the same (i.e. killing the Windows phones)? It really kills any incentive for me to buy their products. I feel safer actively avoiding them. It used to be you felt safer buying from big names because they were here to stay. Surely enough, companies are but the products aren’t and customers turn into victims.
Yeah MS did kill their phones but that’s nothing like Google launching dozens of new services then killing them after a few years, Google has unfortunately been doing that for quite a long time.
Will they ever stop creating new services only to shut them down a few years later?
No wonder people don’t trust them anymore.

I agree, I’m not particularly fond of Apple but they’re indeed reliable.
