"... I actually tend to use DuckDuckGo anyways."

"... I don't even like AMP."

Any idea how many Google employees use DuckDuckGo?

Is it really common, e.g., maybe due to sheer size of the workforce, for Google staff to dislike what their employer is producing and releasing on the internet?

I work at Johnson & Johnson yet I never look for JNJ products at the grocery store, (nor at the company store next to the cafeteria.) Doesn't mean I don't like JNJ. They're fine. It just means I'm a normal person that chooses products I like.

I think maybe it's that when you work at a huge massive company, you stop feeling like you have to "help the company" all the time. The company is big enough.

Yet the commenter was bothered by seeing others' opinions on AMP.

I understand your point. I agree. However, in terms of their "core business", "products", or the employees who research and develop them, I do not believe Google is comparable with a pharmaceutical company such as JNJ. I have worked in both industries.
