anyone know what google was thinking when they got rid of google now in favour of the discover feed because i honestly can’t understand how you can have the best engineers in the world and make a decision like that

    They moved the google now features to assistant. It’s basically the same thing that happened with inbox. Google Discover only really exists to sell you stuff. It’s ads. All of it. Google Now features like package tracking, flight tracking, bill reminders etc? Available in some way shape or form in Google Assistant. You know, as a way to sell you on IOT devices like Smart Displays and speakers.
