Google team, we need to talk.

Your reputation has fallen among many developers for a lack of long-term commitment to anything.

Could you please get your executives in a room and figure out everything else that needs to sunset in the next two years? It’s fine for a product to run its course but the endless paper cuts of sunsetting announcements is getting old.

Once you figure out what needs to get cut, just make a big reset announcement and commit to supporting everything else for a decade.

It will take a couple years for us to believe you but better late than never.

Until then, we have to assume that everything is on the chopping block or at risk of 300% price increases.

You can do better.

Executives have been busy chopping the company up for parts for years, coasting on Google's reputation to distract employees and users. The plan is to loot the place for as much and as long as possible as it crashes and burns.
