You can use something and still hate it. Have you flown commercial?

Google search has been getting worse for years. Kagi.com is what Google would be if they had kept improving Google instead of optimizing search results for ad revenue.

So? "Google is the best search engine we have today" doesn't make them an entity we should deign to like :/... a majority of the things brought up in this article are people hating Google for dominating markets and thereby preventing competitors or abusing other companies in various ways, so, of course we're using them? and we hate them all the more for it?

I can hate something even if there are no better options.
