       | Unfortunately, Google has set the bar incredibly high for killing
       | "yet another" anything.

       | The three examples of other Amazon products killed from the
       | article are the Fire Phone (1 year), Amazon Dash (5 years), and
       | Amazon Tap (2 years). The Fire Phone and Amazon Tap were failures
       | from the jump, although the Tap was just a different packaging
       | for the Alexa service. Dash was a novel product/service that was
       | replaced by recurring purchases.
