They would have had to make severe changes for Google+ to be competitive with Twitter and Threads. It was terrible.

I kinda liked the Circles feature though...

They had a few ideas here and there that were okay, but the way it was put together as a whole was just crap. The community was crap too. I used it for a while, hoping engagement might drive some traffic to my silly YouTube videos, but there was nothing to engage with. Just endless memes and spam.

Are you talking about Google+ or Twitter? Twitter also has a feature called Circles they're removing.

Twitter’s Circles function much the same as Google+’s did. It was a really great feature. Seems like it’s on Twitter’s chopping block now.

It was like the dictionary definition of designed by committee.

Xoogler here, I was at the TGIF where they launched G+ (at that time "emerald sea") internally.

They literally showed the SNL Taco Town sketch to us as part of their prezo like it was a good thing.

The no ads thing was pretty nice. And their photography community was pretty fantastic.
