Yes but an echo chamber as defined by GP, of tech literate people. So I lean towards agreeing with them that tech literate people are mostly starting to see the problem with "big tech", not just Google. The chamber is not just as small as HN. Regular users care less about this because they see the free service but even they are starting to be pushed away by hostile moves like retiring even paid services and products without reasonable justification or advance notice.
But there's no single problem that's a trigger for all, not everyone is upset about the same thing and I don't agree that Reader, or the NSA, or any other single issue singlehandedly turned everyone against Google or other tech companies. It's the whole environment, and different straws broke different camels' backs.
