I have a lot to be thankful for personally because of google. In my bubble, Gmail gave me a solid free email client since the days my parents had AOL dialup. YouTube has been a literal magical experience for its video delivery service all these years, nothing came close to its reliability. Vimeo? (Please). Let's then talk about the first Android phone the G1 and the other early flagships like Nexus. They set the bar in so many ways (yes, Apple did too). The landscape has changed though, and Google has changed. I've always bought the latest phone direct from Google. I'm waiting on the P9 though. They to show they got what it takes still, like very much improving their spam detection in gmail. They have the capability, I believe. Google needs more than good leadership- they need to try to set the standard.
- jimjimjim 2y agoThis is true of my experience with Google as well. I know it's fashionable to hate Google but Google's search was better than what was there before (altavista, webcrawler or those godforsaken screen cluttered portals). Gmail was/is vastly better than the alternatives. And even though I've always used Firefox it was Chrome that broke Microsoft's monopoly on web browsers. I suspect that a lot of their policies end up being that way to cope with any % of the whole world's population trying to cheat/scam/beat any system or rule.
- burnte 2y agoI don't hate them, but like you I'm getting frustrated. I had to remove a link to my personal website from my personal gmail account because gmail would mark it as spam in everyone else's inboxes, including gmail boxes where gmail knows this email came from within gmail! I tried paying for GSuite but even then they still spammed my emails. Remove that single link, everything goes through. Absurd.
