I'm not pro Google, and I'm finally un-googling my life. But I don't think it is great to compare food to ads, one is required to live.

  Not sure your analogy stands from a corporate standpoint.

  Un-googling, I found out, is easier than un-Microsofting or un-Facebooking. MS because of Office and FB because of WhatsApp. Writing this from a yet to be un-googled Pixel phone...

    Google Maps, YouTube, and gmail (forwarded to my fastmail) are all that I really have, but they're _really_ hard to replace. Apple Maps sucks, there's nothing near as good as YouTube, and I don't want to move hundreds of email accounts off of gmail.

      > Apple Maps sucks Really? I found it more accurate in most cases. I wonder if there is a difference based on location. I am in California. Also maybe years ago it was not as good as Google, maybe it got better since then?

        probably a little of all the reasons you named, plus some others. most likely it was just a shallow bait for apple fan's as i too use apple maps almost exclusively for some years now and found it more than capable for my navigation needs.

        It works alright, but it is absolutely terrible for discovery, e.g. finding places to eat/things to do. If you already know where you want to go, it's usually pretty good. Additionally, to view any reviews you have to download Yelp

  living completely offline is becoming increasingly challangeing thou. and going online to do anything becomes increasingly difficult w/o coming in touch with google in any way.
