    Google: people weren’t using it.

    The People: you cancel literally everything you create, so why should we bother?

      Remember when people were using allo and Google play music? Google doesn’t.

        I loved Allo. I was really depressed to have to use Whatsapp after Google cancelled it. And one of my favorite things to do was use my Google rewards points to buy music.

        And they wonder why no one invests time and interest in any of their new “experimental” products.

        Allo didn’t ever make sense. What about Hangouts. Hangouts worked with imessage. And also works better than allo did And also works better than aloe did at any pointat any point.

          Whats crazy is Hangouts is still going (in the form of Chat and Meet). I’ve had the same group chat going with a few buddies on it for years and years now. And it is still better than anything outside of Signal in my opinion for messaging.

      Google’s business model also doesn’t really fit to what VPN customers are looking for. They hardly would implement a zero log policy, for example.
