Google cancelling products is as common as the sun setting in the west.
It’s what they do.
Cancelling new office leases may have to do with WFH and a pandemic.

Haven't received my semi-yearly Google recruiting email this year, I was starting to get worried! I'm itching to decline for the fifth time! :)

#6Google photos is the best photos product out there for simple sharing with family (and partner share), so of course they're going to destroy it with mismanagement. Time to start looking for alternatives.

#7This article reads like senseless hate-mongering.
The email this article is talking about is for users of the Google One subscription only. Of course they'd like their users to know that they can upload full quality photos to Google Photos - that's one of the main reasons I bought the subscription too!
Disclosure: I work at Google, but had bought the subscription before joining.

#9I stopped using Google Photos after a bug I experienced few years ago when I configured my phone to upload everything to Photos and remove local copies:
I knew photos are not exact copy and will be kept up to a certain resolution, yet some photos, due to network fault I believe, appeared on Photos as a tiny pixelated copy of the original copy. The pixelated images were probably a result of a interlaced progressive compression. The main problem for me was that client removed the local copy thus costing me few dozens photos forever lost.
