> Admittedly, the original author's title of "Why I distrust Google Cloud more than AWS or Azure" much better describes their position than the editorialized title of the HN submitter ("Why Google Cloud is less trustworthy than AWS or Azure").

Agreed. What is with the retitling?

2 comments

Submitter (& author) here. I just changed the submission title to exactly match the original.
1) force developers to rebuild

common in other cloud environments, they just give you a longer runway / head's up on it

2) price increases

true

3) shitty customer service

same as azure and aws -- google, though, have a crap reputation to begin with. With the other two, it was a surprise.

4) continued existance of google cloud

article is over a year old; and - frankly - aws is likely to spin-off from amazon sooner than google cloud being shutdown

no sources, that is just my gut feel.

The market is easily large enough to have 4 - 6 global players *AND* 2 - 3 regional / country-specific ones as well.

May I ask why did you change the title to begin with?
I thought the new title better but I did not want to change the original (because I had already shared the link with friends), so I just changed when submitting. Should've gone with the original...
Sometimes it is because of the title length limitations. I guess HN can could extend it a bit more by say 25 characters or so.
