Hangout was good but it feels like Google whiteanted this product in the hope people would head to Allo/Duo. While in reality they just pushed people away completely.
I find it amazing how these decisions are made... it seems like most people here could see the train wreck coming from this at the beginning. Are the descion makers that bad? Did no-one have the guts to discuss how bad these things looked or were they arrogant enought to feel they can fly above market sentiment... I always find it interesting how bad decisions are made in such seemingly obvious circumstances.
I suspect the problem with hangouts is that it's free. The new gsuite meeting, or whatever it's called, looks a lot like an upgraded version of hangouts, but you have to pay for it. (Pay for gsuite)
