They want to extract profits even out of people who have decided to leave them. Toxic AF.

@AITookMyJob Thats exactly opposite of the entire post. LOL !

Software Engineer

This move was done to increase client acquisition, not because GCP is shutting down. 
  
 Free egress doesn't mean they don't make more profits. In B2B, some free features or services are provided so that overall revenue/profits can be increased - B2B PMs can confirm. In economics, we call this playing with the price elasticity of the product.

Software Developer

They're just making egress transfer fees free. Probably to attract customers. They have the least market share out of AWS, Azure.

The way they have written it like  
  ‘Customers who wish to stop using GCP’

Thats a way of saying

Move to GCP, if you don't like leave and take your data and we won't charge you if you don't find GCP better.

After learning NW concepts on AWS&Azure tried to understand GCP🤢.. Never looked at GCP then after

Google Cloud Shutting down?- Grapevine

Google might be either pushing other cloud services to provide free transfer or is it signalling at end of GCP and exiting cloud business, as it pays tolls on P&L for Google and isn't profitable as far I know

Is Google pointing to end the cloud business later

Google Layoffs

It’s becoming clear that Twitter will not crash and die because of the firings that happened there. Which other companies are similarly bloated and can see mass layoffs and will still continue working well?

Which tech companies are ‘bloated’ and could see mass layoffs like Twitter?
