Like almost everything else these days, the so-called “sunsetting” of G+ all comes down to the bottom line: In a rat-race to the bottom line the winner will surely be- a rat. But with the demise of G+ there will only be losers: millions of us Plussers, who will be unceremoniously thrown overboard and cast adrift into cyberspace in April without any instructions yet about how to save our data or how to export it to another platform. I've forged some very important friendships there, and the thought of losing contact is utterly depressing. Given all the work and enthusiasm Google employees put into G+, I'm sure that they’re not exactly thrilled about it either. What I’m trying to say is, as it all comes down to the bottom line, and G+ hasn't generated enough revenue for Alphabet, does anyone out there believe that Alphabet would consider a subscription-based G+? It would represent a public relations coup for the Google brand if people were prepared to pay to stay on board...
