"Google absorbed my life from an early age"

When I read these stories complaining about Big Tech failing them I never perceive the problem as what the author is claiming it to be: e.g.,changes to Google search.

Instead, for whatever reason, I perceive the problem as the author's reliance on and even "trust" in Big Tech.

(Granted, the Google worship here makes sense considering he is working at "Android Police")

For example, the author's chosen title refers to "my search engine" rather than "a search engine".

Maybe I am just the wrong audience for these stories. Born into a world with companies making physical products and selling them for money instead of a world with intermediaries "selling" intangible "products" that are comprised of public information and performing unwanted surveillance on the "buyers".
