What's that, Google is shutting down another program I've never heard of?

Seriously Google are the worst advertising company in the world which is pretty bad for an advertising company.

"We are shutting down the program down because no one uses it", says company that doesn't tell anybody about any of its products unless it's another chat app.

I swear Google operates more like a startup incubator at times, creating almost entirely seperate companies within itsself that are just expected to handle everything and then when it doesn't work they shut them down

Wasn't that the whole point of the creation of Alphabet? That they'd have different business units with their own products?

And if it does work, they shut it down anyway, rebuild the product as something YouTube-branded and then abandon it anyway.
