WARNING: Lots of profanity, open weeping.

On this episode of destructive stupidity, let's see what Google has
done to push users away from using their "ecosystem."

1. Hangouts. They're getting rid of Hangouts. They're getting rid of
SMS integration for Fi and Voice (I have both) for Hangouts. But wait!
There's more. They're fucking forcing users over to Chat. What is
Chat? It's Hangouts without the fucking video, voice, or SMS. It's
shit, basically.

I mean I heard about this fucking rumor back when G+ was going to die.
I thought, nah, they already took SMS away from non-Google numbers.
They can't seriously... And tonight, I look into it by chance, and
find out they're actually going to fuck Hangouts to death with a damn
kanabo. What. The. Fuck. Fuck off. The video, which I hardly ever use,
is going to fucking Meet. Voice stuff will appropriately still be in
Voice. Fi users? Go fuck yourself and use normie apps like Phone and
Messages. Fuck you, Google, you fucking pieces of fuck shit. Go
fucking die in a fire, you fucking buffalo diarrhea. FUCK YOU!

2. Google Play Music. Yeah, it's not as detrimental as FUCKING CUTTING
OFF CONTACT FROM FRIENDS, but shutting down a pretty damn good music
app that came by default on many phones is just another case of Google
telling people "Hey, nothing lasts forever. And by forever we mean
like 10 years or so. That's fucking lame." Who uses the same things 10
years later? TVs? Cars? Yeah, all that shit stopped being useful
almost immediately after it launched.

So I basically used GPM as a music repo and local MP3 player app.
Since I don't illegally download songs, my music collection is rather
modest and fits easily on an 8GB SD card, along with lots of audio
tracks from movies and TV. I'm weird. But the kicker is with the
"update" they made the app open to a splash screen telling you to fuck
off and use Youtube Music, which is just objectively worse. Everyone
agrees. But luckily I figured out you could roll back to a previous
GPM apk and clear data and voila! MP3 app is working. Of course I may
end up just ditching it for VLC since I already have that installed
and for some reason GPM was not a system app on Android, so it
technically takes up space and now no longer syncs with any album art
or anything on GPM.

So basically they were like "You've been using Coke. Have you tried
New Coke? It's even better. We're not even making any more Coca-Cola
Classic. Go fuck yourself. :)" Doesn't everyone drink New Coke now?
Oh, wait.

Yeah. This is a double whammy that I just can't even begin to express
how frustrated it makes me. I'm seriously considering ditching Google
for anything other than Photos, Gmail, or Youtube. I don't use their
search already. I use DDG, Bing, Searx, Veronica-2, Gopherpedia, and
then Google if I really, really have to find it.

The worst part? This is arguably the second time I've been burned by
these fuckers. I liked Google+, but they fucking said, "Nope, not
popular enough. 200 million active users? Go fuck yourselves." I
actually made a Hangouts group message as a (shoddy) replacement for
G+. Now Hangouts is going to get transitioned to fucking Chat and
Meet. Seriously, what the FLYING FUCK ARE YOU THINKING, GOOGLE?!! YOU
ALREADY PUSHED OUT ALLO AND DUO THAT NOBODY USED AND THEN SHUTTERED
THEM! GO FUCK YOURSELVES, YOU FUCKING FUCKTARDED FUCKING PIECES OF
FUCK SHIT!!! I really do anticipate Chat and Meet being less popular
than Hangouts because (I hope) people like me will go to Discord or
Zoom or whatever the fuck isn't going go fucking bananas and shut down
their service for shits and giggles.

I don't think I can do it again. I'm really depressed about this, even
though it seems like Hangouts as I use it now is just going to be
migrated to Chat and be the same fucking thing. My question is why.
Why? Why the FUCK would you fucking cause stress and anxiety when you
don't fucking need to? Is it because, as someone said, some fucktard
newbie leader needed to have a new pet project and couldn't just
improve the old, reliable, simple one? -- You'll never make a name for
yourself if you maintain Wheel, guy. You need to invent the Circular
Vehicular Module app! It does the same fucking thing, but is just a
little bit worse in the worst ways. And nobody will be able to use
Wheel again. Those plebs can go fuck themselves. :) Then we'll change
it in 6 days to The Circle and then those stupid fucks who adopted CVM
app will have to go to The Circle. Genius, right? -- I really, really
hate Apple for the bullshit they do to consumers, but I'm realizing
that Google, even though they "play nice" with other things and
interact well on multiple systems, they just seem to want to fuck with
consumers in pursuit of a handful of fucking asshole execs that want
to reinvent the wheel for their resume or some shit like that. They're
putting insane amounts of bad vibes to everyone stupid enough to use
their products. People like me.

I described my relationship with Google as a love/hate thing. Now I'm
thinking it's more of a hate thing. And that just sucks. It really,
really does. I don't want to hate the company that has my phone
number, has my main email, has my memories and video collection and so
much else of my stuff locked in their servers as a backup. I don't
want it. I can't... I just can't fathom how they keep on doing this.
Like I wish I was Genghis Khan or something so I could lop off the
heads of the heads of Google, take it over, and make sure they didn't
shit all over their customers with inane, destructive decisions.

I don't know what to do. I don't particularly like Discord or Zoom.
But I really, really want normie messaging and I want video
conferencing. And I definitely don't want to bend over for Google to
fuck up my life, however minutely, whenever they feel like a new
product needs to full-on replace what they already have that works and
is used by AT LEAST millions of people. It's sad. It's fucking sad.
I'm thinking that maybe I need to be off the computer. I mean I've
been thinking that for a while, but with this damn virus, it's really
the only way I communicated with most people. Like fuck, I don't
fucking know what to say. I'm really, really disappointed. Switching
SMS apps isn't something I've done in 3 fucking years. I don't want
it. You're muh queen. This shit is worse than Game Of Thrones' ending.
Fuck.
