I love Bing! But no one else does...

I am one of those rare people who uses Bing as their search engine! Yes, I used to use Google, a loooooong time ago! But then I found out about Bing and I just thought it was so cool, and much better than Google. For starters, Google would post my old Kya Dark Lineage forum on the 3rd or 4th page when typing in Kya Dark Lineage, but Bing, would actually have it on the first page! That excited me, since it's not only one of my favorite games, but also a website/forum that I made myself that I wanted to get it out there. That was my initial reason for liking Bing, I was like hey, that's cool!
What I also liked about Bing, was it not only has an interactive front page with a changing image for each day, but it also tells you about certain things that are depicted in the image of the day.
I started to use Bing more, because Google just has this boring white background and a logo that doesn't really change that often (Except when there is a holiday, etc.). While Bing has an inventive image of the day, I started to like it more. I'm an artist, I love colors and interesting things, Google may have a colorful logo, but it's just so plain and boring. I like variety, I like vibrant and colorful things, and Bing leans more to it. This is what sold me to use Bing instead of Google.

Picture by me.
This is the kind of pictures you could see on Bing.


As I started to use Bing, I also noticed some cool things that Google does not have! Or at-least did not have when I used to use it!

 For starters, when you're looking up for a definition of a word, it will actually pop up on the search engine, as somewhat of a tip so you don't even have to go onto a website to find out what the word means. It even has someone saying the word, so if you don't know how to pronounce it, you'll find out how to. I just checked Google and it has the same thing, except it doesn't have the voice over.
The interesting thing is Google has a chart about what time period the word is used and Bing has other words that go with it, so they both uniquely have a different twist on it.

Bing and Google have the same type of translator, where you just put in the term and it automatically translates! I just learned how to say, "I speak no Spanish, suck on a turkey!". (Hablo no espanol chupar un pavo!)

But enough about that, eventually I moved to Bing, and I just find it to be a more attractive and physically beautiful search engine, while Google is just very plain and boring.

But what I dislike, is that there are so many Bing haters out there! I like Bing, other people don't, but I don't go around saying Google is stupid, or anything like that. But meanwhile, anytime someone mentions Bing online, it's to make fun of Bing. It's super rude!  Like why do people waste their time complaining about something they don't use? No one likes haters, and you’ll never be invited to any fun parties anymore! I just dislike all the hate it gets, and I actually get defensive with my friends when I say I like Bing, because I’m so used to people being assholes about it.
If someone doesn't like something, they should move on, and not be rude about it.

PS. Any Bing hate will be deleted. However, if you have a normal comment on why you use Google, that is fine.

EDIT (Dec 2017): I will be posting Bing hate below! Some people were like, I've never seen anyone hate on Bing... Well, there it is!
