Edit: It seems I'm significantly more out of touch with what Google et al. have been doing recently than I first thought. After reading many of the replies, I certainly failed to consider how much of their behavior impacts the average person. I'll leave my old comment here, but I no longer stand by what I said.
~~Maybe an unpopular opinion, but compared to everything else big tech has been doing recently, Google almost doesn't feel like a bad guy. They're still invasive as hell, but compared to any other mainstream AI, search, email, cloud storage, VPN, etc. providers, they almost feel closer to Apple levels of evil rather than removing "don't be evil" from your moto levels of evil. Crazy how humanity continues to outdo itself.~~
I think that's the first time in my life that I saw someone change their mind and admit it publicly on the internet. Thank you, if everyone did that we would avoid a lot of rage!
Actually more common on lemmy. Had my mind change a few time already. And saw other people have proper discussion.
