Google One VPN will be discontinued
Man WTF is wrong with this company
If I didn’t hate using Apple devices so much, I’d drop this company in a heart beat. Samsung is the only thing keeping me on Android at this point.
Like how fucking stupid can a company this big be? I refuse to believe that no one there has said anything about the constant shut down of services.
just dont rely on google for anything. it’s easy. they announce something cool? nice. Two years later it WILL be cancelled. If it’s not drive, gmail, or search… good fucking luck
Google had so much loyalty for YEARS and people have given up. They’re the Patrick Rothfuss of a company.
Disappointing. I use it all the time. It was simple and easy. Not interested in having yet another paid subscription when this one worked nicely and was included.
Another dead service from Google.
They claim it’s discontinued because it was not used by people.
I bet most of them doesn’t even know there is a VPN coming with the subscription.
This is a personal experience, I’ve had the sub for almost a year already by the time I realized there is a VPN.
They should try advertise it a bit better first.
I like Google but they make it extremely hard for us to like them. It’s a pretty toxic relationship lol.
My whole digital life is built around Google with my main Gmail being the same since 2006 and Google photos being my digital photos archive, maybe I should consider changing services to be not so Google dependent in case they decide to discontinue something that I use daily
Google one benefits are shrinking as they cancel services and make others free to use for anyone
Something is seriously wrong with Google at this point,
Spend a lot of money in developing a product just to kill it in a few years
I’m really not surprised anymore with Google.
Oh, it works great? Cancel it!
Was about to be pretty disappointed but realized that Pixel VPN is different and isn’t going anywhere (apparently).
Google lost all trust of a large part of the public, me included, because of all these project cancellations. No one wants to learn a product if there is no guarantee that it will still exist in 6 months.
Google is now “discontinuing the VPN feature as [they] found people simply weren’t using it.”
People who use VPNs are generally concerned about privacy and a bit of security thrown in, would you trust the pipe of a company famed for tracking (hello incognito) to put all your browsing and other data through?
Once again Google killing a feature due to lack of usage even though they’ve never advertised or mentioned said feature to users.
If they didn’thave search and android, they’d be dust. Such a shitty management at such a once-great company.
Google disappoints again…
RIP. Another one bites the dust. https://killedbygoogle.com/
of course it will. it was useful and cheep.
can’t have that.
is this mainly the fault of the growing tendency of companies to plan no further than the next Quarter?
causing them to make decisions that concentrate on the short term over the long term?
So will they reimburse all the Google one subscribers? I paid for a year.
