Disagree. Even with their issues, they're still less evil than MS, Apple and especially Oracle or Meta.

If they didn't have all their issues (discontinuing products, bad customer service) they'd probably be bigger than MS and Apple combined. But here we are.

Also for better or worse, I pay for bundled Google storage + Gemini and YouTube separately, it's still worth it, even without free months or whatever. And still better than being in MS or Apple's ecosystem.

Until you go of the rails of their processes and have your account closed with no recourse.

Sometimes I worry about this but everytime I see an example of it I feel better (because most examples involve the person doing weird things).

That doesn't make any sense. There are still plenty of people who are not doing weird things and getting screwed over.

Google fanboys have always fallen for their "don't be evil" nonsense, and it looks like they still are even after it was changed.

The least evil giant might be Yahoo!, although nowadays no one uses their service due to their inability product and tech.
