Do you like "Google"?

[DustinBeat121]

Ok this is wider question and must tight it up a little bit.
Google search engine is in my mind when I ask this question and constant algorithm changes which devastate us in terms of rankings and traffic.
I already express my opinion https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/google-confirms-two-indexing-outages.1269430/ and will repeat it.
I dont like Google at all.

It's as good as asking "Do you like your enemy"?

 

[HustleTong]

I certainly do!

 

[deedee1whoa]

I used to! As a user, their results aren't good enough. Seriously, it's become critical in my experience.

I thought of trying to go with DuckDuckGo or some other search engine but, they're not great either. It's sad IMO.

Their quality of search results definitely went down over the years.

Since this is in Lounge, I am assuming you are asking this from a user point of view.

I wish there was some better alternative which doesn't rank the website based on the number of words it has and showed unique content each page instead of showing 10 articles with same Ideas. Something is really really wrong.
Years ago as a begineer when I was searching about ways to make money online everyone showed same results. Virtual assistant, Youtube. Yea I already knew but I looking for something new. It is really frustrating to see even same results people suggesting youtube. Yes like it's a new thing? I wish it had suggested something like MTurk back then when it was available to indians registrations aswell.
And adsense is really stupid ad network. How can a guy who is working on Microworkers can afford to buy a $50,000 Car? Why the heck am I seeing pedigree ads daily on YouTube even though I never had searched anything related to dogs or even cats and whatsoever.

I use Gmail, Google search engine, Google Pixel phone, Google Android, Youtube. I'm planning on buying a Google laptop.

That should answer your question

I like Google.
I think Google is starting to like me, but I suppose only time will tell.

 

[praetserge]

By the looks of it, most of the people here hate google but almost everybody keeps using it.
Lots of people just contradict themselves.

 

[insom]

Ofcourse i love google.
And google loves me to the point that they dont even let others to see my content

 

[Fresh Ideas Marketing]

I love it, I love updates too. If they will die some day all my business will get 65% vanished

 

[Dopious]

Yes I do. Great company, that pushed developmet forward thru the years in business.

 

[nopolice]

No, aside from Android I try to avoid Google as much as possible. I don't use Gmail, I don't use Chrome, I don't use Google as search engine.

 

[tubeboost]

I use their products, can't say I like Google. Google is a monopoly. I don't like monopolies.

They spent probably billions over the years on AI and ML research, yet some of the results have nothing at all to do with is being searched. Some of it seems obviously biased in favor of what the Silicon Valley culture wants people to believe.

I can't hate google though I found this forum through Google only.

 

[BentMo]

I care about privacy, and theyren't respecting anything. But it's same for all.
If I could, I would only use Qwant & Firefox but Google is the best at what it does. Even if it's far from being perfect

 

[Gogol]

To the question, yes I do. I am fascinated by how they overtook companies like Yahoo and became on top. However, as an IMer; I hate them lol.

 

[Nut-Nights]

Can i abuse? I would like to say few words about Google.
