Google Home barely understands me anymore. It used to be stellar. Google Maps is all over the map with directions. Gives me nonsensical routes... here take this side street detour. Also, it will add 2 minutes to your commute. Not enough data anymore? Don’t do that. Google Search is mostly sponsored ads now. Sometimes it’s _just_ sponsored ads on the first page. What? YouTube ads and recommendations are garbage. Too much data now?? Gmail on mobile has zero integration with calendar. Didn’t show Google Meet links nor is there any link to the Calendar. I had to type calendar.google.com it in the browser manually... seriously?! Is it just me? What’s happened? Are there some specific internal incentives that are driving this? TC 740k
+1 for maps. I switched to apple maps completely. I'm so surprised how quickly apple maps has caught up to google maps. Features like traffic signals, cameras at signals, stop signs, etc. doesn't have any alternative in google maps.
Yeah it started going downhill after Sundar became the CEO. Since then their strategy has been "put more Ads at the problem" and that has not been working well. Google Search is still miles better than Amazon's search. I find Google Maps to be one of the more mature apps from Google.
But we are winning in diversity and inclusion. That’s leadership’s priority.

Sorry, we can't hear you over the deafening sound of ads dollars gushing in.
Yes completely agree. All of their products have got way worse. Their reputation on here is somewhere to go and relax, not work hard. Probably related
Search Experience is terrible. Too many Ads. Maps search has Ads in the drop down suggestions now
Lowballing is catching up to them
