A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

MODERATORS
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.
