Don't tell them about Gmail, they forgot ruining it. Don't wake sleeping dogs.

They're the #1 in streaming. More people watch youtube on their TV's than Netflix
Doesn't Youtube famously bleed money?
No clue, but the question was what do they have that people like. People really really like youtube

But they didn't invent that. They bought YouTube after it was already popular. The only thing they've done to the platform is put in more ads.
Was that a qualifier? "What exactly does google have left that people like?" Youtube, they have youtube

Chromebooks are insanely locked down at schools. I got one on eBay for $40, installed linux, and now it can play Minecraft Java at 60 fps so that’s something.

What have Google developed inhouse that’s good since Gmail?
Android and YouTube were both acquisitions.
Hm, 8.8.8.8? That was 5 years after Gmail.
Docs, Sheets, and Slides were all acquisitions. I guess Drive and Forms are good.

Once upon a time, search. Those days are long past.
If/when they screw up gmail, I’m blacklisting Google for good, that’s gonna be such a goddamn pain to disentangle myself from.
Email hosting is pretty cheap. Ive paid for email for a couple years now and use gmail for almost nothing except junkier things.
It’s about the thousands of things you have your old gmail tied to. Yes I use forwarding to my new proton mail but sometimes it doesn’t work cause it went into spam or smh and I must open gmail.
Sometimes also the icloud aliases stuff stops working and I don’t want my proton mail to be associated with too much ads so I again type the old mail…
To be honest I was supposed to use proton but I use apple icloud aliases stuff most of the time because I don’t want to disclose my most important and secure email address on some trashy sites. So yeah that google switch didn’t work out all that good I guess I just changed the tech overlord. At least the new one didn’t want to monopolize the internet I guess
You should start now.
Proton Mail FTW, until they are successful, then we move on.
Google has become Microsoft 2.0 where everything (consumer facing) they touch turns into shit.
