It's almost as if, and bear with me here this is a truly wild concept, letting every manager run their own little show and paying them based on how many new products they introduce isn't actually healthy.

Random as hell.
What is with google and all these apps that get killed or rebranded very abruptly?
So I’ve heard advancement at Google/Alphabet depends on launching new products, not improving existing ones. Which means a lot of continually reinventing the wheel, because crafting truly novel new platforms is actually quite hard.

Money, it is all about money.
It’s about lack of coherent leadership.

Isn't google wallet basically the same thing?
Yes, and it works better. They said over a year ago that wallet would replace GPay, and remind you that it will stop working basically anytime you open it. I'm all for shitting on Google but being upset over this is dumb.

Introducing Google Pay-I.
Revolutionary AI learns from your habits and personality to make payments on your behalf! It will buy things you didn't even know you needed!
I would probably try an AI version of the XKCD packages script
That's really clever, you finally got me to dislodge this turd. Thank you!

Does this company have some kind of multiple personality disorder
Some of its personalities do while others don't. It's... complicated.
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too

Every company renaming their products: mv -i oldname newname
Google renaming their products: cp oldname newname ; sleep 5 ; rm -f oldname
With Google it's usually just rm name

The fun part is you still can't transfer out less than $1. I had 81¢. So I tried to transfer in 19¢ so I could transfer a whole $1 out.
Nope, can't transfer in less than $10.
I was able to transfer in $10 so I can get my $10.81 out. But fuck, Google, if you're the one shutting shit down, how about you let me transfer my money out regardless of how much/little there is?
You have money on Google? Where I am it just a payment service linked to your card.

Wait, Google Pay still exists? Wasn't it rebranded to Wallet?
In true Google fashion, they remade the same product, gave it a new name, and made it compete with the existing one.
a manager needed their promotion
Just FYI, it was wallet originally, moved to "pay" then both existed for way too long with not really knowing which did what
Now we're back to wallet.
🤦♂️

Instead of Alphabet, they should’ve called the company Undertakers, because they’ve got a lot of experience dealing with dead apps and services.
Just Google things. (tm)
Didn't they already force everyone onto wallet?
At least I had to already stop using Pay like 6 months ago
From the article:
Google Wallet, a pioneer in the NFC payments space...eventually got combined with Android Pay and rebranded to Google Pay, only to become Google Wallet again for most users, even though Google Pay stuck around in the US, India, and Singapore.
EDIT: And I assume you don't live in the US, India, or Singapore.
