Maybe it's because we know Google is profiting off of our private information, and we don't make a stink about that because they're giving us free stuff. But why shouldn't we be upset when they stop giving us the free stuff we like? They're still profiting off of our private information aren't they?

Amazon just isn't in the same boat.

What if they simply don't profit enough to justify giving you free stuff?

I never said they were wrong to deprecate unprofitable services, I'm just saying that it's not like the outrage is coming from nowhere, or has no justification.
