Angry pitch fork Internet mobs don't like skeptics. They probably would have been superstitiously burning witches 1000 years ago but now there's a different work of Satan to get all frothed up about. It's ridiculous. Google has done an immeasurable amount of good in the world by bringing knowledge to millions of people. By helping cross cultural barriers and disseminate ways of thinking. Unlike most "startups" Google really has changed the world. But hey, a professor got fired and some opportunistic journalist is making un-evidenced spin, so fire the torches up. If you don't get with the mob you are obviously a witch as well.
- fuck_google 9y agoDo you honestly think that Google is somehow magically better than other search engines? Or are Google ads the culmination of civilization? Google has definitely changed the world, but not always for the better. In many ways Google is worse than Microsoft in the past because abusing its market power has more far reaching consequences.
