This is still my favorite list of google products.

Pixel Pass was a program that allowed users to pay a monthly charge for their Pixel phone and upgrade immediately after two years. It was almost 2 years old.

Huh.

They really are responsible for the enshittification of the web. So many great ideas that might have actually become something special if they hadn’t been bought, and subsequently shut down by Google.

From what I have heard before its more like google encourages “innovation” for promotions. This leads to a lot of people creating half baked ideas in order to get noticed for a promotion. Then after they are promoted and leave the team no one cares enough to keep it going and they just quit after it gets too hard.
