Remembering the failure of Google+, I wonder if hostilely forcing a product to your users makes it less likely to succeed.

Was it that one or Google Wave that was supposed to become the dominant form of communication within 5 years? I don't remember much about either one.

Google Wave is tangential to slack, discord, Facebook groups, and Whatsapp communities, arguably reddit communities...

So they may have been on to something
