either you are paid by google to make accounts seem like real people behind them, and spread propaganda for google, or you are a young kid who has yet to grasp the reality of what google is telling you they do vs what they actually do.
Do you think the tobacco producers are spouting how great their product is at giving folks cancer? you must be too young to remember cigarette ads, and how 9 out of 10 Dr.'s recommend a particular brand of smokes.
Google wants your information, they want to sell you shit, that is all. They will make it easier to get that data, and easier to buy from them, but dont for one second think they give one ounce of a shit about you, or your life as long as you stay on their platform and spend money on them
I understand your point of view, but I believe that unlike smokes, Google software doesn't biologically harm you, and by the way... it's a nuanced conversation, there are layers to be talked about!! I'm very sorry but I understand.
look, im not trying to be a dick, honestly. but ive seen some of your posts here and there, and it really seems like you have a big hard on for google, like you capitalize the name and everything. someone under contract would do something like that, however auto correct will as well, but im on pc...so im bias. some of the other things you say...ok more how, but to me sounds like someone under contract.
yeah, i could be wrong and im sorry for being a dick about it. if thats the case, you should have a look as some of the evil shit they have done, look at project dragonfly and tell me they have the users best interest at heart. I was a big google fan for many years, bought nexus phones before they changed name to pixel, was among the early adopters of gmail, (public) beta tested lots of shit. hell, i remember when the front page said "ad free". so this isnt coming out of nowhere, i have reasons, and you should do a little research, but dont search it ON google
Edit: deleted the shortcut for 'ad free', was the wrong one. will update when/if i find it....maybe Mandela effect?
I like Google but I capitalize all names... and anyway I use Firefox sometimes too!! I think Google does make very nice things. And about the Dragonfly project... well, they were honestly just trying to give the chinese market a better search engine, but it was a good action of Google to stop it because it would have been used badly!! n.n By the way, I use Duckduckgo on Chrome.
yeah, you are paid
dragonfly went ahead a year or so ago, its active now i believe.
pm me what you get to post this stuff, i could use some bucks and id be way more convincing
I wish I was paid, why would they pay me?? I'm not a popular person, and either way, while I do enjoy and I'm a fan of Google, my main stuff is software and technology, and Python :3
of course someone who is under contract is legally obligated to deny getting paid. maybe just a NDA, but either way
and dude, not even the kid i went to school with, who invented 'bumptop' and sold that shit to google, eats as much of the propaganda as you have and puked it up in such perfect form. just send me a link to your handler or whatever, I can make a much more convincing account. not looking to take over your job, but i can do it better
Edit: link to bumptop
excuse me?? I'm being honest and truthful, I'm not being paid, and if I ever get paid by Google, it will be because I'll be working in their offices!! By the way I also have Mastodon, Telegram, and Matrix. So I can't be paid... And by the way that kid has achieved great things!! That's very good for that person.
That's unfortunate because your posts make you look very dishonest. In one post you are unfamiliar with basic topics and in the next you seem to be well informed about some of their obscure failed projects.
If you're not a paid actor then you're someone who just likes to provoke people online which makes you an asshole as well.
I'm very sorry if my impression was that one :c I don't want to harm or offend anyone, and yes, I do know some of their obscure projects but that doesn't mean that I also have to know everything about other stuff. But thank you for that criticism n.n
im done after this, but dont matter how many accounts you have, someone paid by google to spew their propaganda would have to have a lot of accounts, on many platforms. Now i almost want to peek around and find out just what you are really up to
you are a fraud, i wont block you, but ill be ignoring you from now on
that ship sailed back when they abandoned the “don’t be evil” motto
i forgot to mention that part...thanks
They went straight to "be evil if it makes us money"
