We can decide to stop using some (or most of) Google services. It's hard, but it's not that they are pointing us with a gun in order to use their services, right? Sure, for the cases when one cannot escape Google, use it; but for the rest of scenarios? It's all about tradeoffs: Can I live without YouTube? Can I live with DuckDuckGo (Google Search is "better" but I don't mind)? etc.
