I think the reason Google has such a stranglehold over me is more the fact that they have so many small things that, whilst individually are easily replacable, would be a big job to do at once. The only things I can't see I could easily replace is the account switching with chrome (although I haven't really looked into it, there probably is something) and Keep (the fact that theres nothing out there quite like it is honestly shocking, to the point that I've considered just doing it myself). Everything else is, as you say, not particularly unique, theres just so much of it. To be honest when I wrote the argument that people should listen to the other sideI didn't even have Trump in mind, but it is a great point and kind of shows it is a universal issue (both politically and otherwise), though Im optimistic that things are slowly starting to change, if for no other reason than for seeing these kinds of comments :) And you're absolutely right, it applies to TikTok too, so I apologise for being so quick to jump the gun and forget to practice what I preach, and thank you for the great discussion. It is always nice to have something which starts as an argument end so nicely, whether we agree with everything or not. Have a lovely day :)
