Too bad but luckily I don't really care anymore. I de-googlified myself some time ago. My email is fastmail on my own domain, I don't use Google's cloud services.
Sucks for people who are still trapped in the Goolag ecosystem though. Maybe this should be a warning at least not to host your precious family photos with Google and not to use their email service.
- lpcvoid 5y agoThis is absolutely irrelevant for the situation. I did similar things, yet you cannot deny that Youtube is hugely important for people's viewpoints on world politics. This isn't about you or me.
- mrtesthah 5y agoYour personal habits are irrelevant. We live in a shared society and Youtube content will still have an effect on you by way of its viewing by everyone else.
- can16358p 5y agoI de-googlified myself too and never intend to go back, though this is not just about Google. This is about centralization. If there isn't Google, there is Facebook Video which would do the same. If there isn't FB Video then there's Twitter, which would do the same and so on. Even if we, as a minority remove all our accounts from those platforms, the majority use them as the primary media platforms. We need a paradigm shift at scale to move people off centralized platforms, but we need a candidate first that is convenient for people.
