People have been bashing MS, Apple for decades (for the same tired reasons), and now FB, Google too. What is wrong in expressing displeasure? Its a normal human trait to do so. If you wrong someone enough times, they're going to spend their own free time and energy telling people how much they dislike you. I suppose taken to an extreme, it might become unhealthy.
To be clear, I don't like Google any more, and I'd be happy if more and more people stopped liking them too. An advertising/data-mining/surveillance company controlling access to information in a digital age is about as dangerous as you can get. Even so, I can still objectively praise some interesting cool tech that they produce...
- outime 7y agoI expect to get interesting and hopefully new insights when reading comments in HN. The comment guidelines state the following: >Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents. Hence I believe repeating the same comment (or should be called rhetorical question) in almost every Google Search (or related e.g. DDG) thread isn't only repetitive but IMHO also goes against the quoted guideline.
