Many non-technical users assume blame for slowness and clunkiness. So many times I've heard self-blame when helping out family. "I shouldn't have so many pictures on my desktop" (there are 8 pictures). "I just can&#

The notion of organizing private information (VS the public internet) helped me shift my perspective a bit, thank you. It also dramatically amplified my feelings about other Google products, like Drive, which do an absolutely terrible job o

It genuinely sounds like you may have absorbed and accepted the quirks of their interface. I started using Spotify after Google killed Google Music. I find it totally egregious. My playlists feel hidden from me. Search is infuriating. The p
