    It’d almost definitely kill Google if they were to kill Gmail. Gmail, YouTube, and Android are pretty much what brings people to use Google services in the first place. I was just referencing the people that panicked when they saw the fake email going around that looked like it was from Google themselves about sunsetting Gmail. Google’s reputation didn’t help quell the panic which is why they had to come out to the public saying they won’t shut down Gmail

      Well spoken, I mostly agree. Although I wouldn’t go so far and say that shutting down Gmail would kill Google - their search is still pretty popular, too. Their horizontal integration in systems does play a huge role in the search‘s popularity though.
