This is a really terrible way to convince someone to use your product and when you couple that with google hijacking you really don't have a service I want or w

  That's okay with me. The great thing about the Internet has always been that you can choose the services you want to use and avoid the ones you don't. We're losing a lot of that control, but that loss of freedom isn't coming from me. I'd like to work to maintain it.

    That's all fine but one of the better things in business is to stay level headed when someone doesn't like your product and avoid coming off like a jackssa who could give two shits.

      Look, the guy is running a business that is competing with Google. Moreover, his revenue model is perceptible (NXDomain redirects) while Google's revenue model is far from perceptible (silent aggregation of your entire internet experience: browsing, emailing, and search history). I think some day when there is a massive privacy violation at Google we will understand what the costs of Google really are. Until then, I don't think it's unreasonable to cut this guy some slack. His business is now directly in the crosshairs of the most powerful company in the world. I wish him good luck.
