Google seems to really need a change to management. I’m not sure what’s going on over there.
I have never heard/used this product. Maybe there were layoffs and no one cares...or an uninformed individual sent the mass email with short notice.
Either way, very telling! Also bad press is good press, I guess?
Still didn’t understand what exactly this was or how I used it, so I clicked. 30% of the screen (on mobile) is a banner telling me I should be using chrome. Another 40% banner is telling me the site is going away soon soon soon. Another 10% is exhorting me to make connections with my account so others can see my (soon to be deleted) photos. And the remainder of the screen is an empty gray box, with no photos or other content, just gray as far as the eye can see (until you hit one of the aforementioned banners); all that remains in light gray letters is the text “Looks like you’ve reached the end.”
A real modern day Ozymandias.
Though I’m not seeing what you describe on Safari with iOS 16.5
I’ll look for a decent looking photo host that’s not going to mercilessly exploit my metadata and edit and post the screed cap.
For some reason, you may get a sensitive media age gate on that link? No idea why, it is entirely innocuous.
I still cannot figure out what exactly they are shutting down, and I'm computer savvy.
Even for the subject line alone. "An update to X" is a terrible summary in general but particularly for "We're deleting X".
I mean, they earned their reputation, and then some.
