This is exactly how they worded warnings for my Nest Thermostat before one day killing the service and trying to upsell me a newer, more expensive model.
It’s time to say goodbye to Fitbit before Fitbit says goodbye to you.
Google kills every service it touches.
This tracker site also goes further back but around 2019 I suspect it was also . . . Killed by Google.
Nest is so tragic. Great independent company who made a sleek, high-end, innovative product. Bought by the most evil company* and completely enshittified. I don’t want to create more e-waste, so I still have mine and capitulated to their account demands. I almost look forward to them killing what I have now so that I can support a competitor.
*two-way tie with Meta for most evil
Bear in mind that as they age, you have increasingly unstable lithium bombs on your wall.
Nest smoke alarms were inspired and truly the best I have ever used. So pissed Google destroyed them.
