If you think that you either weren't around or have just forgotten. Google was "do no evil" and seemed to actually mean it. They had a ton of goodwill.
at the time they were the underdogs, even after they reached massive success... they were making data widely available and free and easy to find! this upset so many traditional industries
now that they're at the top — they vacuum all the data up, give you shit results, and sell more data than you probably even know about yourself to advertisers
