I’m still in disbelief having heard this for the first time today.

    If you trust google with absolutely anything then you are a fool. They start and close things constantly. You should 100% expect any google service you use to shutdown at any time.

      They had 10 million domains (according to the article). Even with a successful business they drop stuff. Maybe I am a fool!

        only 10 million domains?

        Now i understand. Upper management compared the numbers to the usual numbers they see (billions of google accounts for example) and saw “what the hell? Only a dozen million domains? Literally nobody is using the service, get rid of it”

        They often shut things down that seem successful and popular. Google can’t be trusted.
