I agree that capitalism is bad.

But since we live in a capitalist country, I do my part as an informed consumer and I don't use Google products.

But this particular brand of whining about "big tech" is so stupid. Google risks losing advertisers. Google acts to not lose it's advertisers. Cry a river that in a capitalist economy a business takes action to protect its income source.
