The question I am going to ask is - What's wrong with Google? They had solid services, great reputation, every techie loved them. Now they fit perfectly in the stereotype for a big, bad and greedy corporation.
In retrospect:
April 2013 - they butchered Adsense YT reporting by removing the real-time reports from your Adsense profile and moving them to YT. There was a massive drop in earnings afterwards! Instead of aiming for transparency they gave their users the finger.
Then comes the constant harassment with this G+ thing. I've gotten the popup message around 50 times.
Should I discuss Gmail redesign - hidden interfaces, new sorting system. Absurd things!
And the latest - G+ comments on YT. Yeah, that improved the comment quality.
I am wondering who's fault that is. There probably is a committee of managers who come up with these "changes".

I come off as too negative, but I am just mad at them. That's why I've stopped using gmail, gtalk, hangouts, etc.
