The problem with Google is that we’re all attached to the memory of what it was, but it hasn’t been that thing for a long time.
It’s like when we see our partner and we get excited, but worms have burrowed into their brain and that’s not really them anymore (even though we’re attracted to what we see).
I’m over Google. It used to be like you describe but now when I see a new Google project, my first reaction is disgust at the potential new avenues of data harvesting. Then I go look for an open source project that does the same thing.
They have ruined their image for me forever. Still use some of their stuff, but I’m trying to be less reliant on it.
