The IBM-ification of Google? | Hacker News

Hacker News commenters said Google’s cloud and product approach is eroding trust among serious customers.

A reported Railway Cloud ban fueled criticism that Google can seem impersonal and unreliable in account handling.

Others noted Railway had support contacts, but said the bigger issue is Google’s pattern of product shutdowns.

The thread tied Google’s cumulative cancellations — from Stadia to Hangouts and Reader — to long-term credibility concerns.

The debate suggests trust, not just features, is becoming a key factor in cloud and enterprise adoption.
