"Dicking us over"

Really? * really? * Choosing to stop offering a free service while allowing people who already have it to keep it is dicking you over?

Free? That's being being pretty disingenuous considering Google is an Advertising/Tracking company with the number one search engine in the world. No one uses any Google service or app for free so technically it was not a "free service". They should be upfront with people in the beginning if they don't want people bitching.

Yes, free. As in 0$. The same way that Facebook is free and that most startup web services have a free usage tier. Knock it off with the pedantry.

You know what, you are right.

I think the only reason I felt that way was because of how they told us what they were doing. Like they were doing us some kind of favor instead of the exact opposite.
