Unpredictable Google

Google services are the worst. One minute they are available for use. The next minute they are going through a decommissioning process. Then there is that aspect of their page ranking algorithms which keep changing effecting the publisher revenue. Not to mention the way they have recently been giving preferential treatment through a preferred advertising supplier network. One minute an API is available to use, next minute it is gone. The same is the case on GCP. Nothing seems to stay for very long before it is changed with a total lack of regard for the user. No time frames given for planning a migration. Not to mention the fact to find any information one has to literally hunt for it. One would think if they are a search company they would know how to make their searchable and findability functions user-friendly - but no. And, it takes ages to remove anything from their search engine. The company is also slack in following basic privacy and regulatory compliance. The company just gives off an air of arrogance like they can get away with everything without really being very responsible with user data. There seems to be a complete disconnect across the internal organization which shows in their products and services initiatives. Over the years, with multiple court cases in the international community, Google has been slowly but surely losing the sense of credibility of their services with users. Large company like Google eventually meets its faith when more issues with reliability and security of their services come into question while increasing frustration for their users for their lack of responsive customer care and dodgy business practices. A perfect example of a company that just doesn't care about the end-user.
