As someone who doesn't particularly like social networking sites, and especially dislikes Facebook compared to other social networks... I'd drop Facebook first. Heck, I only joined because I had to in order to add a page for a business I was working with.
Apple I could drop pretty easily too. An iPhone is nice, but it's not exactly the be all and end all. Any old Android phone could work well too.
Amazon... personally I'd be able to drop it easily, though most people would have more trouble there. That's because nowadays the products I mostly buy from there are computer accessories and games, and the latter is under serious competition from the likes of Steam, various digital download stores on consoles and even the companies themselves selling boxed versions.
Still can't imagine how people buy food on these sites. I mean, do you often like to wait for your food to be delivered? The supermarkets here are both pretty cheap and within walking distance.
Microsoft would be tough, simply because Microsoft Office is really important to me, and I'm really used to Windows at this point.
Google is arguably the toughest one to drop. Why? Mix of services needed (it's damn hard to promote a website about certain subjects without YouTube nowadays, and Gmail is very convenient) and the fact their alternatives are just nowhere near as good for a search engine. Which is depressing given how far downhill Google's own search results have gone recently...
But yeah, interesting to see the stats there.

The supermarkets here are both pretty cheap and within walking distance. I sometimes buy groceries on those sites, but not all of it; only the things I don't need immediately but will soon (and if it doesn't have weirdly high pricing on it). I also usually use Prime Now and not Amazon.com.
- gutnor 9y ago> I mean, do you often like to wait for your food to be delivered? As a foreigner, Amazon ( and others ) offers food that is simply not accessible in the local supermarket. All the food that requires a trip to a larger supermarket or a specific shop ? For example, my last buy was some sort of pasta that is difficult to find in London. I'm 100% certain I could find it in some Italian shop. I'm 80% certain at least 1 of the major supermarket stock at their largest store. To find out, I would need to explore the city. I don't want that pasta enough to dedicate a whole week-end to search for it. Alternatively, I can use internet and the first results are generally a shop that offers delivery. Again I don't want to dedicate a significant part of my we to go to that shop to buy 4 GBP worth of pasta.
