I'm fine with this. Google shit is annoying. I don't use any Google services besides Sheets out of necessity for work.

edit: Also use Google search and YouTube but only in browsers that block ads and tracking.

So you do, in fact, use Google services.

I can stop using Google search anytime. Even now, I use it exclusively in Firefox Focus so I'm not tracked.

Sheets is just for work. It's not on my personal device.

YouTube I do use quite often in the Brave browser to be fair.

I guess what I was trying to say is that I don't use that much Google shit as-is, and I am all for giving up Google entirely as better alternatives emerge.

I'd recommend trying DuckDuckGo instead of google search

Ya you do. Everyday. iMessage? iCloud? Apple ID? Those all are on googles servers so technically, google services.
