You're an idiot, but here goes. If you are in the West, 8.8.8.8 is not hosted thousands of kilometers away, it's hosted at your ISP like most other google services. If you had looked into it, which clearly you have not (because as we know, you are an idiot) you would find that 8.8.8.8 is faster, more reliable, and more accurate than most people's ISP DNS servers. ISPs and captive portals like hotels and coffee shops like to hijack NXDOMAIN to serve ads, which 8.8.8.8 never does.
If you are in China or Africa or India or Russia, 8.8.8.8 might not be faster but it's also not hosted by your local totalitarian junta.
