Google is laying off employees at Waze
Google is laying off employees at Waze. The company is moving Waze over to Google’s ads system, and that change will mean job cuts at Waze. Google folded Waze into its Geo group in December.

Google only ever kills the services I use. I fucking hate Google more and more every year.
-
it's such a fucking sick philosophy. imagine having that much money and might and still killing anything useful and not even able to sustain the quality of fucking search
-
the services I use
I fucking hate Google
Looks like you need to deGoogle. I did.

RIP Google Reader. Feedly is nice, but I still liked my plain simple Google Reader
-
Dang, don't remind me.
Reader was sacrificed so they could prop up Google plus... What were they thinking

I'm surprised they kept it up and didn't just incorporate the back end into google maps.

Waze had strong user base... Kinda like Firefox
Google tried killing firefox like other browsers but just couldn't. Then they realized some degenerates just prefer using Firefox no matter how much better optimization for chrome is.
So then they just pay Firefox for default search
Helped googleb in the long run, as they would be 100% monopoly on android and windows now... Instead of 90% currently lol
-
Just some interesting trivia, firefox handles static web pages way faster than chrome. You're kinda forced to use JS just because chrome (chromium) owns 90% share of web browsers market.

Don't you dare shut it down!

I know it's due to role redundancy, but ever since Waze was pulled more closely under the Google umbrella, every change they make worries me.
-
It sucks I use Waze daily and I know maps is t going to have all the same features just like they promised Gmail would get everything from inbox
-
-
to be fair they bought waze years ago. i'm surprised that waze has lasted this long
-
it's just a matter of time until Waze joins this list

Another one for https://killedbygoogle.com/

For the longest time, I held on to Gmail, but honestly it’s been surpassed by Hotmail. The sweep feature is very useful in keeping the unread count down. Besides mail and search, I consider every other Google service temporary.

I used to love me some Inbox for Gmail.
