tl;dr: after pushing rcs so hard for years, killing hangouts well after forgetting about it, & hiding it from gmail, google now wants you to use its (and google allo's) successor, google chat.

Killing hangouts just made me use other platforms and throw Google in the bin.

When they keep killing stuff I use, I get burnt.

Yeah, I hit a point around 2018 where I went from being a huge fan of Google’s to switching to iOS and trying to degoogle my life as much as possible (but also not wholly relying on one company for anything. I still have Google photos, but I also have local backups of all my photos, plus they’re in OneDrive and iCloud for example)

Yep, at this point I'm expecting that Gmail too is going to be discontinued without warning

Me, an Inbox by Gmail fan: first time?

Inbox dying was when I started to pull back from Google. What a great product and they just trashed it.

I still haven't found anything as good as inbox. I used Outlook for a few years, and spark for a couple more, but I just went back to Gmail a couple months ago
