> I intentionally enter a large percentage of invalid data into recaptchas to spoil their dataset. So do a few others. You are easily selected out as anomalous data, just fyi. > Google Analytics is blocked by my ad blocker. Great. Are you also blocking Google Fonts? Are you sure that Google is not hosting anything you are touching on a website? > Same goes for ads on youtube. But advertisers pay YouTube based on the viewership reputation of YouTube. You are merely providing a reduced amount of value to Google in this way. > You just shouldn't encourage any further people to use Google stuff by filling their ecosystem with more new software. Very honest question: Do you think you would have actually said this same thing about the C programming language in the 70s, 80s? Maybe you would have. All in all, I am not sure that your stance justifies writing no code in Go which provides less value to Google's bottomline than even Google Fonts. Perhaps some advertiser somewhere in the tech industry benefits from Google's public-facing Go packages proxy data for reaching a developer audience to sell to? Who knows? But, developers can turn that off and/or use self-hosted proxies. Also, lone wolf retaliation is fine but not nearly as effective as just running for political office and being anti-Google.
