    Google killing inbox was what radicalized me to that the entire business model of big tech is bullshit

      I tried using Inbox but couldn’t get past the whole idea of it. I’m old school when it comes to email - just gimme everything and I’ll decide if its important or not.

      That said, Google’s decision to kill it did open my eyes to the fuckery.

      Then they killed Google Play Music a few years later. I had most of my library uploaded, but didn’t delete my local copy because I’m not insane. That one radicalized me.

      Absolutely gutted at Inbox going away. Was such a great product, and they lied about implementing its features into Gmail.

      My similar turning point was when they shut down Google Reader in 2013. Never forget.
