It became this in approximately 2009 - 2010, around when the founders left and the business bros took over. We've been seeing the slow decline since then, though it may be accelerating now.

I loved Google for so long, but they have really lost it. I switched back to Firefox last year as a meek sign of protest. My work still uses Gmail and my personal email is still Gmail, it's gonna be rough to extricate myself. My fucking phone number is Google voice

Yep. Gmail is the final piece for me. Everything else has been migrated at this point.

I will keep YouTube sadly. Sad because it’s Google.
