Can't speak for the quality of Stadia and I am not in the target audience, but I thought it was crazy that people were willing to trust Google that they wouldn't shut down the service if they didn't immediately get 10 quadrillion subscribers.
I vividly remember some senior Google exec. getting all defensive on twitter about the jokes about Google shutting down new projects and implying that this wouldn't be the case with Stadia.
Sure thing, bro!
At this point it's a self fulfilling prophecy, no one expects Google products to last so they don't use them and because no one uses them they don't last. Which sucks because the products themselves are usually pretty solid.
