Do you expect their annual turnover to go up? They might get a bigger slize of the pie but the pie itself is getting smaller.

This extension does a good job of removing them from your subscription feed. If you like me, guard your feed since you don't want to watch random stuff from the home page this is the only way to not totally clutter the feed with random shorts thumbnails. The very fact you can not disable shorts from your feed is outrageous, but obviously not surprising.
This will be my last reply. I am not accusing you personally for what is happening. I empathies with your situation and feel sorry for you. You are obviously doing what you can at the moment. What I was trying to convey was that the tone of your replies came of as pretty aggressive with a sense of injustice and victimhood. Which considering the situation didn't sit well with me.
My replies also comes from emotions and anger. It is probably unfair but being Russian I think you are going to have to find ways of dealing with these emotions from other people even if you feel it is unjust. Expressing empathy and humility would probably be helpful. Especially during the current time when bombs are still falling. I didn't get that feeling from you and therefore reacted the way I did, which was probably unnecessary. I wish you the best in dealing with this situation and hope that you are able to help Russia become a free & open society.
This whole situation is a tragedy. I don't know your life story and base my comments on the tone of your replies in this thread.
The world is going to hold the Russian population accountable to some degree for the war their government have started whether you think this is fair or not. And I think your attitude of aggression, victimhood and being wronged is not going to help you in the coming years. You would probably be better served with some humility, empathy and feel of responsibility even if you think it is unjust. The real victims are the Ukrainian civilians being bombed by your government at the moment. Not inconvenienced Russians who feel they are unjustly punished.
You have made three statements and not a single one express any sympathy with their situation. Only your own victimhood and one blanket statement you don't support the government. Their employees are being shelled with cluster bombs by your government as we speak.
I think it is time you face reality that the world is going to start to hold the Russian people accountable for their governments actions. I feel sympathy with the Russian people since many don't support this war or even their government but at some point they are going to have to get uncomfortable and take risks and stand up to the government.
I don't understand how it is possible in a functioning market economy to have 8000% markup on a utility product like bandwidth. Seems more like an oligopoly where a few big actors with a big moat has agreed to keep prices inflated. How can a sustained 8000% markup for a product like bandwidth not be considered price fixing?
The U.S. is the modern & real life version of the emperor has no clothes. It will be a grim day when the majority of the population wakes up and has no choice but to accept this reality.
Has nothing to do with killing B2B products. But I share your frustration and distrust in them for those two changes.
With the Google Maps API price change they demonstrated that they are very capable & willing of abusing their market position with shocking price hikes and with the GKE structural price change that they are no longer interested in the trust & business from small & medium size companies and unless you are enterprise size you can expect unpleasant price changes going forward.
App Maker is probably the worse on that killedbygoogle.com copy & paste list. Rest are B2B really?, the product evolved and got re-branded/consolidated or meh, was it really widely used anyway? Not a single one is a Google Cloud product.
I am no Google fanboy and get frustrated by a lot of things they do. But I think the Google kills everything argument for B2B products is getting tiresome. Especially in a Google Cloud Platform context.
Their actions on the Google Maps API absurd price hike and the recent GKE pricing structure change debacle is a whole other story and worth a lot of criticism.
This argument is getting old for B2B products. Would you mind sharing a list of Google Cloud Products or even just Business to Business related products that have been shut down?
Is there anyone but me who uses the premium article on medium.com as a filter for what is NOT worth my time?
I believe in the tech space the majority of readers who write in depth worth to read articles are not incentivised by a few dollars kickback from their hard work from medium.com. They often write it for personal profile enhancement or company blog marketing reasons and want to reach maximum audience and will keep it free for all.
The problem nowadays though is that medium.com is often able to trick them by making the article premium through deceptive ui even when that is not their intention. Just look at the googlecloud medium blog and you constantly see premium articles there which seems bizarre.
Every time Twitter comes up on HN people complain about missing reverse chronological order and hating on the liked by tweets feature. The old classic mode is one click away. Or am I in a weird long running A/B testing group still having access to this feature? I know the default mode is not what most people here like but is it really that hard to switch the display mode?
I have stopped investing time in cool/interesting Google consumer products that does not have a legit chance to reach at least 50%+ user penetration a long time ago. They are always doomed.
