Interestingly enough, back in the day Google used to be a darling of HN community. I suspect folks might be disappointed to see how things turned out at the end.
Or that google might have changed how they operate in small ways as they are steered differently.
Expecting any one person to still have the same opinion of any one other person a decade later might be asking a lot. It's nothing strange that a community of people would have differing thoughts on a whole company of people and product and policies.
The tech world is always running from one monopoly to another.
People should think differently about Google because it is different and now has become the monopoly.
Excuse me for being in that bubble.
It seems that way to you because the front pages of Reddit, HN and Twitter are Google's only support channels.
For example, back in the day Google search was useful. Things change, darlings go to the most hated list.
My assessment would be false positives are way too high and customer support is close to non-existent. And we're hearing only about a tiny fraction of the problems with the majority being stuck in customer support hell.
