I fall under this line of thinking too. I am a gmail/drive/cal user primarily. I find their services fast, reliable, secure and integrated to a lot of other services. Sure, they collect and sell my browsing data. But so what? It costs me nothing, doesn't impact my experience (outside of the occasionally annoying ad), and provides them revenue to keep innovating. I don't really understand the anti-google sentiment that's been brewing lately. Why not the same aversion to apple, microsoft, and amazon? Or is it just flavor of the month? Personally I'd much rather use Hire over LinkedIn. But I guess it's just one devil for another.
