Google is gutting G+ from the youtube. This may be a side effect of the doings that transpire from said obliteration.
Google had a golden opportunity years ago to usurp Facebook much like Facebook did to MySpace. People disliked Facebook's increasing shennanigans like determining what your feed should be, throwing ads, photo privacy, etc... and Google plus saw a massive membership jump.
But they ****ed it up big time. They did absolutely nothing to grow G+ and left it to the tech nerds who used it (and eventually gave up on it).
G+ would have been fine had Google not jammed it up their users' collective butts.
G+ would have been fine had Google not jammed it up their users' collective butts. They got greedy and tried to exploit their Android user base. I hope whoever made that call got fired for it.
