   Not that Google should have had to clarify this, but I can imagine a lot   
   of people got the impression that Google created and controlled Usenet,   
   and therefore, that Google discontinuing a service they had already   
   abandoned meant game over for Usenet. For a lot of people my age (born   
   in the 2000s) who are more familiar with sites like Reddit or Discord,   
   the idea of Usenet being a decentralized service provided by a myriad of   
   sources probably never even crossed their mind.
