Frankly I think the only Google products that are safe from being Old Yeller'd are ones so ingrained in our society their attempted cancellation would likely result in an act of Congress. Have we started a deathwatch for Google Fi yet?

As google fi is mostly t-mo + sprint, and t-mo is now mostly t-mo + sprint, it would seem Google Fi's only selling point is it would be nearly impossible to have your phone number social engineered away, because Google support can't be reasoned with?

Fi has other compelling features. The biggest win for me is that it works worldwide for the same $10/gig I pay at home. I went to Cayman and Honduras last year, and it just worked; normally, I have to go buy a local SIM and prepay a few hundred dollars, but with Fi my total monthly bills were still only about $40.

Your comment doesn't really make sense. They graduated from "Project Fi" to "Google Fi" just a year ago; why would they go all out and bring it into Google branding if it was on death watch?

Neighborly, just like 99% of the stuff on Killed By Google, was free product that never left beta. It amazes me that people on HN still confuse paid products like Stadia and Fi with huge infrastructure and userbase with these small experimental Android apps...

They killed and deleted data from Google plus just recently. Tons of data gone forever. Google plus used to be integrated into every part of Google.

After they kept it running for 8(!) years.

And while it was a large product in terms of user base, it still was a free product. The paid G-Suite version on the other hand still exists and runs just fine, although rebranded to Currents.

Well, for example, they have no interest in doing even the bare minimum support necessary to bring it to a mass audience.

I sure do love my Google Search Appliance.

[ehsankia]

I never claimed there wasn't any whatsoever, but that's very far from the huge list of 200 killed products on sites like Killed By Google that people wave around. Also, comparing Google Search Appliance to Fi or Stadia still sounds just as silly and unfitting.
