I would like to thank all the wonderful people like you who created such amazing products for me to use. I am sorry to hear that you have experienced mental anguish due to this. From my perspective you should feel pride and accomplishment from having contributed to helping millions of people every day.
I get dozens of questions answered each day through your search engine that before would go unanswered. (my last question was: "how does a digital scale work?")
I get to write beautiful documents, spreadsheets and presentations that I can easily share with colleagues, who in turn, easily can provide feedback and comments inside the documents themselves.
I tracked the length of my last run with only my phone using android and maps, something that otherwise would have been difficult to do.
My family easily collects photos of our holiday together in a single shared space.
These are just the first things that came to mind I used google for in the last week. Whatever evils google do, you do at least as much good as well.
It's absurd to me that you are feeling guilt because of this. I can't tell you what to feel, but people like you have made my life significantly better and I want to express thankfulness for that.
- mav3rick 6y agoThank you for this comment. HN just likes to put Google's contributions down.
- RestlessMind 6y agoI believe all across internet, there is a paid army of trolls who just want to spew vitriol about a company, paid directly/indirectly by the detractors of the said company. Granted, there are a few true believers but these days in general, I find only negative news / comments about more and more companies.
