I think that's true and Google cloud as such is unlikely to completely vanish (it may or may not morph significantly and any given service or price isn't necessarily safe)

Still, for proper context, google reader may be small but google stadia was big by any scale, with significant datacentre investment, dedicated consumer hardware, exclusive publishing deals, marketing campaigns, etc. And 10 years isn't as long as it used to be in the IT world :)

Stadia existed for a total of 3 years. And downsized significantly after only two.

Google cloud (it's earliest form anyway) launched in 2008. It's older than Drive and Photos. In a year or two, there will be Google employees younger than Cloud is.

Google is hiring 15 year olds?

"in a year or two".

Google hires 17 year olds?

I've seen 18 years old full times (some that never went to college). I wouldn't be surprised to see a 17 year old intern or full time if they graduated college early.
