It's what Google does, launch products -> cancel them, buy products -> cancel them. I have been burned enough times by them that I don't use anything they make anymore out of the certainty that it'll get canceled just as soon as I've grown to depend on it.

what's the word for a thing that worms its way into your life, makes you depend on it, then uses that to exploit and damage you?
