    I like how the idea of Google shutting down Gmail isn’t even far-fetched, it’s just something everybody can get behind. Google will shut it down one day

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

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

          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

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

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