I’ve been anticipating then begging me for more personal info…I went ahead and created a new paid email with separate provider, migrated all my personal important stuff to that and set it up with my own domain .
The day they demand more info, I’ll just abandon it. Google is the new Hotmail. Nothing but spam
If Google wants to do so, they can do the same with YouTube.
There are other email providers out there, but there’s only really one service like YouTube.
EDIT: Also, there are a lot of documents out there in Google Docs. I mean, if they start requiring a Google account with personal information to view those, they control access to a lot of stuff. And while hosting documents (dunno about editable documents) probably isn’t as hard as hosting video, you can’t just yourself migrate out of that the way you can with email. Need all the people sticking information on Google Docs to also do so.
All it means is I’ll have more free time without being addicted to random Videos on YouTube. It’ll probably be better for my mental health when they cripple yt that bad where I just won’t use it other then emergency DIY stuff
