HM is a bubble with bias against Google. People here seem to believe that bashing this company publicly will somehow change how they operate.

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.



view as:

Well, yeah. I too am in the bubble of realistic experience of having apps repeatedly pulled out from underneath me.

Excuse me for being in that bubble.


It's almost as if over a decade or more if time that people can see the result of behavior they didn't see as problematic initially.

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.


Google was a hedge against Microsoft which was a hedge against IBM.

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.


> HM is a bubble with bias against Google.

It seems that way to you because the front pages of Reddit, HN and Twitter are Google's only support channels.


> Interestingly enough, back in the day Google used to be a darling of HN community.

For example, back in the day Google search was useful. Things change, darlings go to the most hated list.
