I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don't like but has an alternative?

Google. Use Searxng for search, Firefox/Librewolf for browser, Newpipe for Youtube, Graphene instead of default Android, literally anything for calendar and notes, and FDroid for apps. Don't let Google's services destroy your privacy.

❤️ Google -> Brave search. Stock Android -> LineageOS (CalyxOS, DivestOS, GrapheneOS). Chrome😬 -> Mull (LibreWolf). Google notes -> Joplin.

Bings actually pretty good now and less bloated than Google.

I also have been trying to convince people to try Kagi. It is so much better than google results, has no ads, and is very pro-privacy.

Only downside is that you have to pay for it, but honestly it’s worth it to me for how much better it is, and no ads or psychology against me is a big bonus

you have to pay for it

You've already lost 99% of people's interest, including mine. No one wants to play $5 a month for a limited number of searches
