Google+ is now being shut down 4 months earlier than the previously announced date, and all the APIs are now going to be shut down in 90 days.

Maybe this would be less of an issue if they hadn't been so eager to get everyone signed up on google+ in the first place? It's nice that they're now as excited about shutting it down as they were about pushing it before, though.

Why imitate the Toyota production system by using words like "kanban" when you can imitate the Tesla production system and churn out buggy junk to dumb people with lots of money?

Well if you start thinking that (for example) ethics should be about not destroying the environment, then growth isn't necessary an inherently good thing which is crazy talk.

:confused: when have subscriptions ever not worked? it's literally all i use, i rarely ever just go browsing youtube at random because there's so much dumb poo poo to wade through, i just subscribe to the people i like and use the subscriptions page to see when they post new stuff and that's always worked fine...
