The irony still stands: these people benefit from tech workers' products, but they still want Googlers to "fuck off" and "get the fuck out." So it's NIMBY-ism -- just like the placement of cell towers, Google employees have to live somewhere. People want to benefit but nobody wants to shoulder the cost.

There's no irony unless you see the world in black and white.

It's not particularly surprising that most people use Google, given that it has a monopoly in search.

That is irrelevant to the possibility that the influx of Googlers - aided by private infrastructure from the corporation - may be destructive to the community that is protesting.
