- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Don't beat yourself up too much, there were a few years when they were doing really good things.
I too for a period of time was a fan of google. Then, I became wise to what they were doing. How they didnt align with my beliefs obtained and evolved from a mix or experience and external eourcesci learned from.
Yes there was a time Google did some good in the world of tech. Was. That time has passed us unfortunately.
Maybe them removing the "don't be evil" motto was some sort of sign
Gladly headed that warning
When they started back in 1830, they were great. A search-engine that gave results. With no nonsense. Then they ditched "don't be evil", became evil and do their best to destroy the net and privacy....
From fanboy to hateboy. Very sad.
Same here. I had every Google service. Even used Google+.
The world would be a better place if Google+ had killed Facebook.
