Stadia was the last straw for me. I kept my pixel phone but I replaced and ripped so much Google out of my life.
I replaced my nest cameras, and my Google wifi router. I ditched my Google home speakers and displays. Migrated everything from gmail except for Google related garbage. Unsubscribed from Google one. And no more books Google play. No movies or TV's on Google play either.
And lastly I use duck duck go as my primary search.
A lot of time and money but my spite knows no bounds apparently.
The comments on that article are really strange.
Maybe I'm just not that familiar with how new trek is made, but is this a good thing for trek or more Section 31 stuff?
