Am i the only one who thinks that using "Google it" instead of "search it" or "look it up" is problematic? (lemmygrad.ml)

There are so many search engines out there and even chat bots to get info from. I refuse to let Google monopolize an action.

Think of it this way: someone asks you a question and you think about it for a while, you can say “Ah Fuck it, Duck Duck it” instead of “Let’s google it”

Doesn't roll off the tongue as much, does it xD tho my problem is, u just replace one company with another. I mean obv one is decisively bigger than the other, so I do get the appeal. But it's still a company. So profit will still be higher on the list than any morals.
