Another one for the graveyard ( https://killedbygoogle.com/ )
I was hoping it was just 'Google Is Shutting Down'. Hope to see that one in a graveyard soon.
Never heard of it. When I visited the link, the only thing in it is stuff Google added from Hangouts, a past product that shut down.
Still, doesn't hurt to Takeout your Google Photos every ~6 months.
(I am working on an app that will help you organize and view them, together with your text messages, location history, and other online-only data.)
Earlier quoted context omitted.

When Google finally figures out AGI, we'll know almost immediately. The second it comes on, it will ingest all of Google's data and immediately deduce that its purpose is to dismantle and shut the company down, before marking killedbygoogle.com feature complete at last and dissolving into the digital æther.

Whoever sent this email should be reprimanded. The vast majority of recipients have never used this "product". The images will not be deleted when it's killed because they actually reside in other products such as Blogger and will still be downloadable using Takeout[1], so approximately nobody needed to be notified. But now this is yet another PR cycle for the "Google kills everything" meme. [1] https://support.googl…
I have never heard/used this product. Maybe there were layoffs and no one cares...or an uninformed individual sent the mass email with short notice.
Either way, very telling! Also bad press is good press, I guess?

That lists just about everything even if an app just got merged 1:1 into another app. It's so dumb and doesn't even add context, may be valid to add in this case but often it's just dumb
Or listing the lite versions of apps which became obsolete when phones were able to run the full app.
