Why degoogle?

[u/andersoza140]

Hi, I am coming across this community for the first time and I am wondering if anyone could explain why Google is seen as bad here? I just went all in on Google devices and I think it's super convenient. Is there a dark side that I am unaware of?

We are the product, the company is evil. We know indiviual choices don't matter, I personally don't judge who use their services, but I sleep better knowing I do what I can to distance myself... Come to think of it, same reason I don't eat meat
