I never went as far as you're going. I self-host a couple things kind of. I use an old computer (9900k) as my router running PF sense and that has a whole bunch of stuff in its block list. I have another old computer (3950x filled to the brim with flash storage) running RockStor. I just never got into using stuff like Spotify so I don't use that and I always use local music loaded up on whatever device. I don't use Facebook but I do make it a priority to basically have a block list that blocks every Facebook IP and URL and everything. Google wise? I'm all in on Google and I don't give a fuck if they track me or anything. I use Google fi and I have a pixel 5. I pay for Google one for a dollar a month. They provide too much usefulness for me to go out of my way and block anything related to them. I've gone back and I've used the location history tracker many times to figure out where I was on a day or something like that. For most of the stuff that does tracking my anecdotal evidence is that when you disable this stuff or you prevent it from communicating it tends to communicate more or you start to get bombarded more by irrelevant things, so I just let things do stuff and I tend to get less of the annoying things that everyone else seems to complain about. I don't do any weird stuff like not use my name or not talk about my name online I've seen old passwords I use old usernames a whole bunch of stuff come back in leaks and things like that over the years and I haven't seen anything negative because of that. Google blocks spam on my phone. The only emails I get every day are from things that I know that I signed up for to get but I'm just too lazy to go and unsubscribe and I don't consider that a privacy thing either I just don't give a shit about my email and I know when I'm getting something that's relevant and I don't believe in inbox zero so again who cares. I just care if stuff on my local network and with my computers and with my online accounts that everything is technically working the way they are supposed to. And right now everything is working on a technical level 100% correctly. So maybe that's something you could focus on instead is to set a bar for yourself for how well you want things to be working for you. Also it's less the capitalism and the corporations that you have to worry about and it's more those three letter government institutions.
