Yes. I wholeheartedly agree with the author here. I fucking hate Google so much now mainly for that reason alone.

I can't trust Google to keep a product over any length of time. I don't know why I should bother staying with their services at all in that case.

I'm seriously considering switching everything over to Proton. Mail, cloud storage, etc. I've already gotten rid of Chrome for Firefox. It's a shame because I still love Android photos. But who knows how long even that will last.

I've gone duckduckgo, GrapheneOS, proton, nextcloud, encrypted rclone backblaze backup. I no longer feel like I'm constantly being watched. Its nice. Highly recommend.

I do not regret moving to proton. I only wish they had more services.

I've slowly been ditching google products these past years, and it feels good. Finally made the move to proton just before christmas.

Google represents a valuable lesson about not depending wholly on one entity to meet your needs.

I'm thankful the lesson is not born of malice but rather ineptitude. We might not always be so fortunate.

Gmail (usually with +domain@gmail.com) is where my newsletters and unimportant emails go. I think I switched when they discontinued Inbox.
