    Will they ever stop creating new services only to shut them down a few years later?

    No wonder people don’t trust them anymore.

      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.

        Well they give people a web page to put their private searches in and then they perform a search and amongst peers 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.

      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
