There's a reason Google has a reputation of "Don't use it for anything that you can't afford to have disappear with no notice or recourse."

You also can't expect it to get any better, both because Alphabet has never shown any interest in improving things and because you and the services you've been using them for aren't the new AI hotness. Even if you're absurdly profitable for them (and you're clearly not) you're not in an area that their internal people are competing to serve.

I can't help but think that the mass layoffs at Amazon will produce the same culture soon. And I wonder how much is downstream of Google "defeating" antitrust.

It's open season for customers, employees, suppliers and contributors.
