Reminder: Google is not a search company but a tracking one.

"I don’t care if they make money off me since the service they provide is so good."

Counter-arguments:

Google doesn’t want you to learn and grow: it wants you to keep on clicking. It’s embedded in their design.

It creates an Internet bubble for each user:

This sort of curation has spread all across the internet, creating bubbles of single individuals and an illusion of connectivity rather than actual empathy, compassion and connection to the world.

If almost literally everyone uses Google, then any project, person or company that wants to succeed must abide to Google’s rules.

From Yuval Harari writer in sapiens:

“One key rule is that if you get my data, the data should be used to help me and not to manipulate me. Another key rule, that whenever you increase surveillance of individuals you should simultaneously increase surveillance of the corporation and governments and the people at the top. And the third principle is that — never allow all the data to be concentrated in one place. That’s the recipe for a dictatorship.”
