Insane that one company can dictate what websites you're allowed to visit. Telling you what apps you can run wasn't far enough.

I really don't know how they got nerds to think scummy advertising is cool. If you think about it, the thing they make money on - no user actually wants ads or wants to see them, ever. Somehow Google has some sort of nerd cult that people think its cool to join such an unethical company.

So unethical that they made countless free services that millions of people have relied on every day for years. Do you interface with anyone that's not deep in the software industry? Every regular person I know uses everything Google without any hesitation and no more than a bit of annoyance with ads sometimes. I think they all are pretty happy with the deal and would not switch to a paid ad-free version.

I'm increasingly blown away by takes on here that are so dramatic and militant about things that barely even register to most people.

On this day, only Google Maps does not have real competitor on Android. Otherwise, it is possible to drop Google and even get better services. Brands are difficult to compete.

It's super simple. Check out all the Fediverse alternatives. How many people that talk a big game actually financially support those services? 2% maybe, on the high end.

Things cost money, and at a large scale, there's either capitalism, or communism.
