Hello everybody,

What is the company and corporation that is the object of your hate? What did/do they do to get that spot for you?

Mine is Facebook/Meta for their egregious data collection policies, psychological manipulation of its users, and more recently, them not seeding content.

Thanks in advance for your time! Have a good one!

Yandex.

In Russia, Yandex is, like, everywhere, and it is a massive evil.

  • Search, maps, mail, browser, cloud, and everything else Google offers? Check.
  • Music, films? Uh-huh.
  • Taxi and food delivery? Gotcha.
  • Tickets to anything from a bus or a train to a concert venue? Yes.
  • Four marketplaces and one freelance platform? All Yandex.
  • Tax processing? Yes!
  • Home assistant? Yep.

It's increasingly hard to avoid, and it is absolutely everywhere. Its use can be mandated by your workplace and in various state institutions, and for the rest, it has acquired so much of everything that going Yandex-free in Russia is one step away from going Amish. It's way way worse and more incidious than Google could ever hope for.
