Google’s downfall seems to be this weird promotion culture where you only get attention by launching new products. That’s why they keep introducing half assed messengers. Nobody gets anything from maintaining a successful product.
That combined with myopic shareholder value management gives us the corporate equivalent of a 12 year old kid with ADHD and a bad tamper.
Google Reader didn’t fail. And they killed it for no reason.
Chromecasts are probably simply not profitable enough. The device class is served by cheaper sticks and given the absurd salaries and profit expectations of these firms, it’s probably not “worth it”.

They killed stuff before when it failed. Now it’s just fucking weird. They’re killing the Chromecast. Why? I have no clue. It has decent sales.
