I think the premise is wrong: I don't think Google is more hated than all of the organisations you list.

Within the tech world, I believe people generally dislike meta, Palantir, Oracle, and Microsoft more than Google.

Out in the real world, in the US at least I'd bet money that UnitedHealth must be more hated. And anyone with at least a modicum of rationality would probably dislike Big Oil and Big Junk Food more too?

That said, I think this is an excellent cautionary lesson:

> We secretly started to believe... ...we hate them more because we dared to believe, and Google let us down.
