Why doesn't it seem coinbase seems to have alot of people that don't like it. Is it like that with alot of the companys?
Yeah it's like that everywhere around here.. Some companies are bad and some are worse... Coinbase reported a few years ago that the company verifying their kyc info was selling it on and they had to switch.
Bitfinex lost 33% of all user funds through bad management of their servers. And similar things have come from other companies.
Realistically bitfinex paid back their funds though and I don't think much has been done with information that has been sold and it was just a suspicion coinbase had...
If you want safety and are prepared to pay a higher fee, you could use cash with an atm.
