Thanks for your undocumented opinion that Google should kill products like Android, Cloud, YouTube, Chrome and many many others.

You’re right they’ll likely keep android, chrome and YouTube.

I think they’ll give up on the cloud. Google has already given a succeed or close deadline on this.

What are the “many many others” you refer to? I suspect those are the ones google will kill.

Google's doubling down on Cloud precisely because they want an additional revenue stream as big as ads; they know their income model is extremely monocultural and any number of things (either regulation or a titanic shift in the ad market, such as mass-adoption of ad-blockers) could hamstring the growth models they're accustom to.

I wouldn't predict they'll shutdown cloud until and unless they're convinced it won't blow up like they hope for them.
