here goes:
- mass data collection without informing the people. if you do something, why do it behind their back?
- no customer service email (you are not the customer, you are the product) - but still.
- full-size ads on the Google Youtube. They could do with banners below the videos, why to annoy us?
- forcing users to use real name to suit their business model. (Privacy is a human right, but not respect by the current regimes)
- forcing people to use Google+ everywhere. Not everybody wants a social network shoven up their *ss
- censorship on Google Search, Youtube etc
- Google drive sucks
- Spyware. They are not able to cope with spyware. The Google Play Store is full of spyware apps. For example, the number one anti-virus app was a scam! Recently there was spyware in their Chrome Store known as BTC-Ticker. But there is much more spyware out there.
- Youtube is slow.
- The Google logo changing constantly. It can be a disadvantage for users.
there are more reasons but I got tired of writing

Remember when yahoo search had a image by it that said powered by altavista and then after a while it said powered by google.
I was like i want my alta vista back. Who woulda thunk that little google logo became what it is.

Do you guys remember altavista.com? I used to use that to search everything. So old school...
Oh my god! That is so true. This altavista site! I remember now it was like 15 years ago, around year 2000 or so. I did not have internet back then but my friend showed me that site and I was like 'woooow you can search internet with it, incredible technology' 
And today we can't live without googling Yeah you know whats up! And then came along askjeeves. Haha

Google is brilliant in many areas and may 'suck' in others. Google is not for everyone. Some would prefer iOS over Android, others may prefer FireFox over Chrome (no IE please). Google is providing their services for free. If you do not like them, you are free to go too. I personally find google maps and their search extremely useful.
Google is now monopolizing search engines business. There is no alternative really if you want to search internet, google search is the best. But probably everything you are searching or typing in google services is stored on their servers and government has access to it.
I think Google is something amazing. But indeed some features that were removed I remember as a great ones...
I remember that old youtube was much much better ...
but anyway ... I think Google rules (but ... I think what they are heading to is dangerous for our privacy)

Google does not suck at all...

eric schmidt says that if you have something you don't want people to know, you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.. except he has multiple misstresses and orgy parties.. and he tries to get people to sign nondisclosure contracts to keep it from leaking. http://gawker.com/5898921/after-three-mistresses-googles-chairman-still-adores-his-wife
Google is something which can't be avoided easily .If you have important mails , use PGP for sure.
I think the biggest thing about it is is how compliant they are with the NSA.
THIS!!!
Yes, and now they openly admit that they are scanning everyone's emails. They say it is for "advertising" purposes...but you know it is for more than just that.

Google APIs are awesome!
The deprecated ones Web Search and News Search sure were. Maps is awesome.
Google APIs are awesome!
The funny thing is that google got so good at doing everything, and making everything easier than everyone else, that the part that sucks about it is that they basically own you now...lol
Bad search results and hyper sensitivity to links... It's turning worse with every update...
I agree but that isn't what I'm getting at I'm talking about the privacy of the users not being stolen and sold to the highest bidder. I'm talking about censorship and profiling users to give them information based on their search history, instead of giving all the useful information needed for the person to make up their own minds on what is of use to them.
EDIT
Does anybody else use the Discussion filter and when did they notice it was goin and did u care?

I don't think there is any better search engine than Google available
Start search is better for a couple reasons. They don't track their users and they don't censor information. I also look foward to the email service they plan to provide.

Privacy is my biggest concern with all the Google products ?
Now that's a valid point..! If i have to point out something that bothers me about Google is Privacy ..! 
Nothing bothers me, I just google something that i need, and i usually find needed info! That's all i use google for. It's a search engine!
google is much more than a search engine! it is used to collect data and profile it users....
Is that all that bothers you about it?
No I just wanted to get the conversation going. I don't want to talk to myself you know?
Lol well name some more stuff you dont like about it.
Nothing bothers me, I just google something that i need, and i usually find needed info! That's all i use google for. It's a search engine!
Actually google is much more than just a search engine..! " Google Search " is just a Product of google ... Google is a Techno Giant trying to take over all the Techno market and stuff. Nothing bothers me, I just google something that i need, and i usually find needed info! That's all i use google for. It's a search engine!

For me there are many reasons why Google sucks but I'll start with this one because it is what comes to mind when I attempt to use the search engine. The discussion tab is not there anymore and that is what I used most to find out what other people had to say about topics that interested me.
It was odd because the feature was removed from one browser that I used but not another. Then I started to use another browser and it was moved from there shortly after. Why move a useful search feature that helped people find information they are looking for? The discussion filter is very useful and should be put back period.
What else about Google bothers you?
