Random as hell.

What is with google and all these apps that get killed or rebranded very abruptly?

So I’ve heard advancement at Google/Alphabet depends on launching new products, not improving existing ones. Which means a lot of continually reinventing the wheel, because crafting truly novel new platforms is actually quite hard.

This is the answer. Rising stars get promo, then abandon it. Google under Sundar is just a corporate advancement simulator.

I was irked about Google podcasts but that made sense since they were obviously trying to push YouTube subscriptions. This I’m not sure.
