Google is among the most trusted organizations in the US? That doesn't seem right.

  Why not? They've pretty much only provided great products to the average consumer. Google and Amazon have a great positive direct impact on most Americans' lives. Here's a report from direct surveys: https://morningconsult.com/most-trusted-brands-2020/ https://morningconsult.com/most-trusted-brands-2020/ Most people don't really care about a Doubleclick pixel or Amazon gazumping sellers with an Amazon Basics thing. For many, the latter is a positive thing and a trusted brand.

    Don't make me point at the sign... https://killedbygoogle.com/ https://killedbygoogle.com/ That's just one example, and I really don't care enough to list more reasons.

      It would appear most people don't care about those products, then. I scrolled through and didn't care about the first page. Maybe Hangouts? And I have free GSuite still so don't know why that's on the list.

        "Most" people don't trust any of the companies on the link you listed. USPS, which had the #1 spot on the trusted list, is trusted by less than half of US adults (42%). You can be one of the most trusted companies while still being hated by most americans.

          That number is for those who trust it "a lot". The answers go from trust not at all, distrust a little, don't know / can't say, trust some, trust a lot. The 42% is trust a lot. The "trust some" is about that much again. But you'll have to pay for Brand Intelligence to get that breakdown. Absent that breakdown, you should trust your prior for whether "trust some" is under 8% on a product that has "trust a lot" is 42% and whether or not the most likely value for "trust some" is under 8% on a brand that has "trust a lot" at 42%.
