ah, so by "they never explain why" you mean they gave reasons that you didn't deem "valid".

As I said, off in the weeds.

In any case, here's lots of counter examples for you: https://hn.algolia.com/#!/comment/forever/0/deleted%20facebo... (sorry, lots of emotional reasons in there too...it's hard to filter out a completely valid reason for stopping the use of something)

The only "valid" reason I saw in that list, it is because "Facebook is using my data" something that is stipulated in the license, so, in the end is not a valid reason. And how is G+ or Google in general better than this? Is not. And the same people hating Facebook for security reasons and yet use Google or an Android phone are not congruent with their ideas.

In other words, those people hate Facebook and they don't even know why.

Well there are certainly more reasons than that, so I'm not sure you even went through the first page, let alone the 28 other pages of results. Moreover, it's ok to "express hatred for facebook" and have that thing be something intrinsic to social networks. And considering the 718 posts just with that search, I don't believe you even went through the first page.

Second, only 5 of the first 25 posts there even mention Google and most of those are also objecting to the same practices fro Google that they're objecting to from Facebook, so, as I said, you may be suffering from more than a little confirmation bias here.

The search query is "I deleted facebook", the results stop being relevant after the first page, the rest is just noice, the problem is that you have failed to point to me to valid examples of motives to hate Facebook, weird, since you afirmed there were several well documented, yet, you have showed the quantity of zero.

So, you can't show me an example, I assume you are bluffing and neather you or anyone here has a valid reason to hate Facebook, at least not a reazoned one, just emotional.

I,m sorry, but the question is why do Nycombinator users hate Facebook, not how to use a search engine.
