New post of Google Plus official
"Whether you use Google+ once a day or every few months" !? How dare they? I, we use G+ every day many times a day. They don't really care about us.

No. They just want shut of us.
ReplyDeleteCharizard Ch No memes. Last warning.
ReplyDeleteIt goes both ways. The public didn't really care about G+ first. Those of us left who did care, were not enough to make the product profitable. So a business decision was made to discontinue it.
ReplyDeleteSuch cynicism, I'm disgusted by their post.
ReplyDelete“If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product”.
ReplyDeleteYou really believe that they ever care at all?
ReplyDeleteJohn Victor That is not correct. Over the first couple of years, G+ grew to about 320M organic active users before the auto-profiles creation. Twitter only had 230M actives at the time. It was the hottest show in town.
ReplyDeleteEvents were not added until WAY too late to pull big numbers from Facebook. Then came G+ mimicking Facebook's disastrous NSFW content policies, the horrors of #nymwars.
After Google doxxed users' real names into the clear came the mass purge of "fake names" accounts including anyone whose name "looks fake" (which is basically "not whitebread names"). Many were actually using there real names but still got booted from ALL Google services including Gmail. And these were not deactivations. They were full account deletions, all data gone forever. Except for the head of Google+ Vic Gundotra who came through untouched even though that is not his real name. It is good to be the King.
After all of that came the forced profiles for ALL Google users, even Gmail. Then the YouTube comments debacle.
The demise of Google+ was purely a self-inflicted wound. Actually, a thousand, bone-deep wounds by the gang that couldn't shoot straight lead by Eric Schmidt and Vic Gundotra.
Google+ started out like a Saturn V, then those two nitwits bungled it into being little more than a bottle rocket. Pure incompetence.
They don't, they never did, and they never will. You are their product not their consumer.
ReplyDeleteGoogle+ was and is the best social media platform for engagement out there. It’s a one of a kind and it’s a horrible mistake shutting it down. Surely there must have been other routes to take.
ReplyDeleteI for one won’t invest time or money in another Google product again anytime soon, that’s for sure.
Per Siden me neither... I'm looking for suitable replacements for all the other Google products I've been using.
ReplyDeleteRegardless of user counts, some if Google's top products came from Plus, like Hangouts and Photos. Plus is a great incubator for innovation.
ReplyDeleteNotice how they disable the comment box, they don't even want to hear our complaints. Well, I'll say it here then, Google+, what you did to us...is EVIL!
