First, ad hominem attacks are discouraged by guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html And for a good reason.

I'd rather argue about the topic at hand. -------------------------------- Now resuming the discussion about using Google services anyway because life's too short to bother: That's just how 7 billion people think. Out of bubbles, there's much more to worry about on a daily basis than what some web site knows about me. Our privilege blinds us and Maslow's Pyramid gets all sorts of messed up around these parts just because we can.
