From the comments on the article:

There was this brief shining moment when we had Google Now and Google Inbox and, at least for me, they were incredibly useful tools. Then they transformed into a content chum box and a stale email platform respectively and, while I think I know why, I’ll never understand WHY.

I feel this so hard. Inbox was so great and being forced back into old-school Gmail was so disappointing. RIP Inbox.

There was a brief moment between Jelly Bean and Kit Kat in which Google Now and Inbox made being tracked by Google kind of useful in everyday life

Until the idiots all complained about it being 'creepy'. Ever since the tracking completely continued, but no longer with any benefit to us.

Great job idiots. Why people just don't opt not to use features they find 'creepy' I'll never understand. They are only satisfied if they bring it down for everyone.
