Between negative comments about Google's service lifecycle, choice of font/colors on a page and general nitpicking of every little detail on a linked page or someone's comment I'm getting fed up. It's gratuitously negative and repetitive to see this kind of stuff every day. If I wanted that kind of negativity and snideness I'd be using reddit.

Maybe some kind of "meta" comment section is the solution so we can have discussions about or derived from the content in one section and the folks that want to bash the company/person/font/colors/title/grammar/credentials/etc. can use the other.

You can read the terms of service here: https://cloud.google.com/terms/

They include a deprecation policy.

Let me guess, still upset about Google reader?

Enterprise should be treated differently if the ever wants to tackle AWS.

Seriously, there's no way I would use Google APIs for anything production at this point.

Well, if you want uptime that's better than AWS then I would.
