Imagine how many brilliant innovations have been lost to the world because of this...
Here's a list from just one major company
I don't even know if that list would be a fair one because those are things we know were killed. We don't know how many unannounced or secret projects were killed that were basically completed.
Well "brilliant" may be a stretch for a lot of those...
My understanding is that these projects are a side-effect of how Google judges promotions. If you’ve “created a new product”, that puts you higher on the list to get promoted.
There are no incentives nor resources for maintaining those products. So you see a long list of “ideas” from Google that are abandoned immediately after someone got their promotion.
