I can only speak for myself, but I was done with Google a long time ago. The 180 on net neutrality, the anti-privacy stance combined with downright illegal (at least in the EU) activities, the pro-active pandering to the copyright mafia, the anti-anonymity policy, the increased geo-tarding or services etcetera. All of these are not just "things I don't like", they are things that go against the values Google suggested, if not outright proclaimed, they stood for. Google has turned on the hacker community quite a while ago. What I find particularly galling is that Google abuses the notion that they stand for openness and global internet freedom as PR-fodder, whilst being one of the most powerful forces in achieving exactly the opposite. Even Microsoft only went as far as to proclaim their tactics were about "innovation". Google is far more cynical.
