I can hate something even if there are no better options.


You can use something and still hate it. Have you flown commercial?


So? "Google is the best search engine we have today" doesn't make them an entity we should deign to like :/... a majority of the things brought up in this article are people hating Google for dominating markets and thereby preventing competitors or abusing other companies in various ways, so, of course we're using them? and we hate them all the more for it?
