Upvoted. As for why some of us defended Google there was a long time where they - IMO - were very nice. Big contributors to a number of good causes. Fired sysadmin who looked into data of someone he knew, even of he had a good reason, because trust came first. Old AdWords/AdSense with somewhat relevant text only ads wasn't too shady IMO. ... at a time when Microsoft had a CEO that said Open Source was like cancer. Etc. Looking back my guess is it went wrong somewhere around the doubleclick acquisition.
