They had 10 million domains (according to the article). Even with a successful business they drop stuff. Maybe I am a fool!

only 10 million domains?

Now i understand. Upper management compared the numbers to the usual numbers they see (billions of google accounts for example) and saw "what the hell? Only a dozen million domains? Literally nobody is using the service, get rid of it"

They often shut things down that seem successful and popular. Google can't be trusted.
