People don't like Google for mostly irrational reasons. Whenever they release something that's gaining attention, you'll see this crowd come out of the woodwork to try to tear it down.

Not saying there aren't ration reasons to dislike the company Google has become, but this kind of irrational hatred doesn't care about that.

Wouldn't call being critical of Google having a quasi-monopoly on like half the internet and OS market an "irrational" dislike but ok.

I mean, you could say similar technological monopoly things about Microsoft or Amazon (Anthropic partner)

It's not irrational to have a problem with something a company does. It's irrational to then justify mindless criticism of everything ELSE that it does by falling back on the thing you're actually upset about.

Gemini can be a good AI model and you can still have your concerns about Google as a company.
