I think Gmail, chat, and maybe calendar are unlikely to be discontinued because they're really heavily used internally.

Chat? It's on its 7th iteration or something. That's definitely not a safe feature.

Yeah, but it's not crazy ridiculous that people wouldn't consider it.

[–] palebluethought@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Of course it is. People have really fixated on this "Google kills products" meme way, way beyond reality

Gmail is load-bearing software for, like, Western civilization at this point

Which chat? There's been too many shut down.

Google also presumably also gets soooooo much information for targeted ads from mining people's email
