This is uncomfortably scathing. And true.

The part about the Icebergs acquisition is particularly depressing. We are losing the trust of consumers by constantly shutting down products. It's one thing if those products are failures, but these acquisitions demonstrate they are useful, successful products (perhaps just with a small to medium-sized potential market).

People always talk about this and that policy stifling innovation. This practice of shutting down products after a building a user base is just as bad. Consumers (I know I feel this way) are simply not going to trust products that aren't from the big guys. That hurts the small guys. "Early adopters" don't solve everything.
