Monday, I wrote about how I potentially stress out some Googlers and some of you may have taken it to mean that these Googlers hate me.
While I am confident that some Googlers are not fans of what I write here, I am also confident that many do like the content here as well. Or maybe at least they know they can't just ignore the content here, for better or worse.
In any event, since I am going through the archives, I figured I'd share a tweet from Gary Illyes back in August 2016 where he said on Twitter that even though they find me "annoying" they do love me.
Here is the tweet:
@pedrodias @rustybrick @mattcutts @JohnMu We love Barry! Sure, here's annoying sometimes, but we escalated countless issues thanks to him

This was in response to Pedro Dias, a former Googler, who said that doesn't Google hate me enough. I joked that I wanted to buy some drones to spy on John Mueller and Gary Illyes.
I still do like the idea but I suspect John wouldn't like to hear the buzzing sound outside of his kitchen window when he is with his family during dinner?
