Does anyone here NOT hate Google? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm curious because I see a ton of Google hate on here daily. It's certainly not all unwarranted, and I do agree with some of the privacy concerns.

That being said I do very much enjoy their products. Gmail, Photos, Chrome, Gemini, Home, Assistant, YouTube, Pixel phones, etc... I've tried out many of the alternatives but always come back to their ecosystem.

Curious as to how many of you here on the fedi use Google products without the common associated angst from the FOSS community.

They definitely stopped living by that mantra at the same time. It may exist as a footnote to this giant code of conduct but it hasn't been their MO in over a decade. The reaction is justified.
